Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds ingredients.

Mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 cups of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of dry yeast, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1 beaten egg, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla to the mixture and mix well.

Slowly add 1 cup of warm milk to the mixture, mixing lightly until a sticky batter forms.

Transfer the batter to a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 2 hours.

After rising, add about 1 cup of flour to the dough and knead slightly to form a soft ball.

Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a 12-inch long rope.

Shape each rope into a roll and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.

Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them set for 10 minutes.

Prepare the glaze by beating 1 egg with a little milk and 1/8 teaspoon of vanilla.

Brush the glaze over the rolls, then sprinkle with sanding sugar if desired.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes, checking at 12 minutes for doneness.
