These molletes were delicious! The anise flavor was subtle but noticeable, and the rolls were soft and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.

These molletes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them to be a bit lighter and fluffier.

I found the dough to be a bit sticky, but other than that, these molletes were great! The anise flavor was just right and they were so soft and fluffy.

These molletes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them without the sugar glaze.
