Peruvian - Pan De Anis - Anise Bread image

This is another recipe by Marian Blazes posted here for the ZWT-7 Tour of South/Central America. You will not be able to resist these sweet little aniseed breads when they are fresh out of the oven. They are rolled into olive-like spirals and baked. Typically they are served with a meal, or as a midmorning snack with coffee.

Time 3h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 tablespoons anise seed
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast, dry
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable shortening (or butter)
2 3/4 cups bread flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place aniseed in a pot with the water and bring to boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let cool to lukewarm.
  • Add the yeast, aniseed water including the seeds and sugar to the bowl of standing mixer and let rest 5 minutes. Then add the flour, the shortening or butter and the salt and mix on low speed with the dough hook attachment until well blended.
  • Slowly add the bread flour and continue to knead. Knead dough for about 5 minutes, (you can also knead it by hand if you prefer) until it is smooth and elastic and pulls away smoothly from the sides of the bowl.
  • If the dough seems sticky you may add a couple more tablespoons flour .
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl and let rise for one hour.
  • Punch down the dough and separate it into golfball size pieces (about 35 grams). Roll each piece into a ball, cover balls with plastic wrap and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Flatten each ball into an slighly oval shape, about 3 inches wide and 4-5 inches long, using a rolling pin if necessary. Starting at one end of the oval, roll dough up into a spiral. Place seam side down on a baking sheet.
  • Mix 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush tops and sides of rolls with egg mixture. Let rolls rise in a warm place for a half hour.
  • Bake rolls for 12 - 25 minutes, at 375 degrees until they are golden brown.
  • They may be served warm or at room temperature.

The anise flavor was a bit too strong for me. I would use less anise next time.

This bread is a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
