ITALIAN ANISE BREAD
My family has been making this Easter bread for generations. It's origins are in a family bakery owned by my great-great aunts off the boat from Italy. My mom and I are the only remaining individuals who know how to make this, so I'm posting it hoping to share it with others. It is made the old world way, so it is not quick, but it is delicious and well worth the work and wait.

Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of the water. Add the honey (or sugar) and let stand until foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add the remaining water, oil, anise, salt, and 2 cups of the flour to a large bowl. Gradually stir in the remaining flour until the mixture holds together.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover loosely with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch down the dough and divide in half. Shape each piece into a ball, cover, and let rest for about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle a large baking sheet with cornmeal or fine semolina (or you can grease the baking sheet). Flatten each dough ball into a 6-inch round. Some cooks flute the outer edge, others leave it plain; it's your choice. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet, cover, and let.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Pierce the dough around the sides with the tines of a fork or a toothpick. Beat egg whites with water, and brush the tops of the loaves with the egg white mixture. Then lightly sprinkle the top of the loaf with the sesame seeds.
- Bake at 375° until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

- To make the liquid levain: Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. In a large bowl, mix the flour, water, and starter until thoroughly combined. Cover the bowl and let the mixture rest at room temperature (65°F to 75°) overnight. , To make the dough: Remove 1/4 cup (57g) from the liquid levain. You can use it to perpetuate a new liquid levain, if desired; otherwise discard it.
- Place the remaining liquid levain and the rest of the dough ingredients (including the sesame seeds) into a bowl large enough to hold about twice the volume of the ingredients. Mix everything together with a bowl scraper or spatula.
- Using the bowl scraper or spatula, run the scraper or spatula down the inside far wall of the bowl. Bring the dough up from the bottom of the bowl, and fold it over on top of itself; this is called a stretch-and-fold. Turn the bowl 90° and repeat; do this a total of 25 times. The resulting dough will be shaggy.
- Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature. Uncover the bowl and give the dough another 25 stretch-and-folds. Continue resting and doing stretch-and-folds at 30-minute intervals over the next 2 hours (for a total of 3 hours).
