Ingredients

Ingredients for 2 loaves

For the dough:
20 g ADAM - lievito madre natural yeast
550 g Soft wheat flour type 0 no. 2
100 g warm water
100 g warm milk
2 eggs
20 g vegetable oil
100 g soft butter
15 g anise seeds
40 g sugar
10 g salt
Additional ingredients:
q.s. Anise seeds
1 egg (for brushing)

Preparation

  1. To prepare the Anise Easter Bread, place the Type 0 flour, Lievito Madre ADAM natural yeast, sugar, warm milk, and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer. 
  2. Stir roughly, then add the eggs and knead until the dough is almost smooth. At this point, add the salt, oil, soft butter (cut into pieces), and anise seeds. 
  3. Continue kneading until the dough becomes elastic, smooth, and pulls away from the sides and bottom of the bowl. This process will take approximately 20 minutes.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball on a lightly floured surface, place it in a bowl, cover, and leave it to rise in a warm, draught-free place until doubled in size (about 1.5 hours).
  5. Next, divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a slightly flattened ball. 
  6. Place the two loaves on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (static mode).
  8. Once the resting time is over, use a fork to create a star-shaped pattern on the loaves. 
  9. Brush them with the beaten egg and sprinkle with anise seeds.
  10. Bake at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes, until golden brown and until they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  11. Remove the Anise Easter Bread from the oven, let it cool on a wire rack, and serve sliced, ac-companied by Easter ham and boiled eggs.
