Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir until it comes to a gentle boil, then let simmer for about 5 minutes until thick.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm dairy-free milk, melted vegan butter, yeast, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add flour until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it’s soft and slightly tacky. Shape into a ball and place in a greased bowl, covering it to rise for 1-2 hours.
  4. Once risen, roll the dough into a rectangle and spread cooled raspberry jam, then roll it into a log and twist into a wreath shape.
  5. Cover the wreath and let it rise for another 30-60 minutes in a warm place.
  6. Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C). Bake the wreath for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Prepare a sugar glaze with powdered sugar and water, drizzle over the warm wreath, and sprinkle with pistachios.
