Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, boiling for 5 minutes, then simmer until thick, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add warm dairy-free milk, vegan butter, granulated sugar, and instant dry yeast. Mix until combined, then gradually add flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Knead for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Punch the dough down and roll it out into a rectangle (10x20 inches). Spread raspberry jam over dough, roll tightly into a log, cut lengthwise, twist, and shape into a wreath.
  4. Place the wreath on a baking tray and cover again. Let rise for another hour until increased by 20%.
  5. Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C). Bake wreath for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
  6. Prepare glaze by dissolving granulated sugar in water over medium heat. Drizzle over warm wreath and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
