Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water over medium heat. Stir until thickened, about 5-8 minutes. Add lemon juice if desired. Cool before using.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, dairy-free milk, butter, sugar, yeast, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms, knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
  3. Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread cooled raspberry jam on top, roll into a log, slice lengthwise, and twist into a wreath shape.
  5. Cover the wreath and let it rise for another 1 hour until puffy.
  6. Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C). Bake wreath for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
  7. Mix sugar and water to make glaze, brush over warm wreath, and sprinkle with pistachios. Let cool slightly before slicing.
