Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds ingredients.

Activate yeast in warm milk with sugar until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Mix flour, salt, and spices in a large bowl.

Add activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg to dry ingredients.

Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 8-10 minutes.

Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Roll out dough into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Spread filling (sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon) evenly over the dough, leaving a border.

Cut the dough into wedges, like a pizza.

Twist each wedge to form a star shape, pinching ends to seal.

Brush with egg wash (egg mixed with water) for a golden finish.

Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
