Make the Jam

Prepare the Dough
  1. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, warm dairy-free milk, softened vegan butter, granulated sugar, instant dry yeast, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until dough begins to form, then knead for 5-10 minutes.
First Rise
  1. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 4 hours until doubled in size.
Shape the Wreath
  1. Punch down the dough, roll it out, spread raspberry jam, roll into a log, cut lengthwise, twist halves, and form a wreath.
Second Rise
  1. Place the shaped wreath on a baking sheet, cover loosely, and let rise for 30 to 60 minutes until slightly puffy.
Bake
  1. Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C) and bake wreath for 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
Glaze and Serve
  1. Whisk together powdered sugar and water/milk for glaze. Drizzle over the wreath, sprinkle with pistachios, and serve warm.
