Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds ingredients effectively.

Mix flour, salt, and anise seeds in a large bowl.

Add the activated yeast mixture, eggs, and orange zest to the dry ingredients.

Incorporate softened butter into the dough until fully absorbed.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Shape the risen dough into a round loaf, creating a smaller ball for the decorative skull on top.

Let the shaped dough rise again for about 30-45 minutes.

Brush the loaf with egg wash before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack before dusting with powdered sugar.
