milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal is a vegan option that binds ingredients well.

In a bowl, combine the milk, brewer's yeast, and honey. Let it sit until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and fine salt.

Add the yeast mixture, egg, and softened butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Shape the dough into a nest (nido) and place it on a baking sheet.

Brush the top with the beaten egg mixed with milk and sprinkle with poppy seeds.

Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.
