A sweet flatbread flavoured with aniseed, drizzled with honey and oil, traditionally made for festivals and afternoon snacks. Its golden, slightly aniseed taste is very comforting.

Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and aniseed in a bowl.
  2. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, then knead until you have a soft, smooth dough.
  3. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200 °C and roll the dough out on an oiled tray to about 5 mm thick.
  5. Prick the surface with a fork and scatter the pine nuts if you're using them.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the coca is golden.
  7. Warm the honey in a bain-marie with the lemon zest for 2 minutes.
  8. As it comes out of the oven, brush the warm coca with the honey and let it soak in before cutting.

Variations and tips

Almond version. Replace the pine nuts with lightly toasted flaked almonds for a richer taste.
