Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water and let it rest for 5 minutes until the surface foams.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt, then make a well in the centre.
- Pour in the yeast mixture and 3 tablespoons of olive oil, then knead for 8 to 10 minutes until you have a smooth, supple dough.
- Let the dough rise under a tea towel for 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
- Spread the dough on an oiled tray into a disc about 2 cm thick, then make little dents with the tips of your fingers.
- Brush the surface with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with sesame and aniseed.
- Let it rest for another 20 minutes, then bake at 200 °C for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is golden.
- Let it cool slightly before cutting into portions and serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
