Instructions

  1. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water with a spoonful of sugar.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, the rest of the sugar, the salt and the aniseed.
  3. Add the egg, the olive oil and the yeast mixture, then knead for 8 to 10 minutes until you have a soft, smooth dough.
  4. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour in a warm place until doubled in size.
  5. Spread the dough in an oiled dish about 30 by 20 cm and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
  6. Press small dips into the dough with your fingertips, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sugar and, if you like, raisins.
  7. Preheat the oven to 200 °C and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the top is nicely golden.
  8. Let it cool slightly and cut into squares.

Variations and tips

Lemon version. Add the zest of a lemon to the dough and dust with vanilla sugar as it comes out of the oven.
