Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, yeast and aniseed.
  2. Add the soft butter and olive oil, then rub with your fingertips until the texture is sandy.
  3. Mix in the eggs, then gradually pour in the lukewarm water while kneading to form a soft, non-sticky dough.
  4. Cover with a tea towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into small balls, roll them into thin ropes and shape into rings or small twists.
  6. Sprinkle the surface with sesame seeds, pressing lightly so they stick.
  7. Arrange the qrishlat on a baking sheet lined with parchment and let them rise for 15 minutes.
  8. Bake at 180 °C for 20 to 25 minutes, until nicely golden. Let cool completely before storing.

Variations and tips

Orange version. Replace the water with warm orange juice and add the zest of one orange to the dough.
