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.

Tips:
- Mise en place: As with any baking recipe, it's important to have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go before you start mixing. This will help ensure that your bread turns out perfectly.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your bread will taste. Look for fresh anise seeds and high-quality flour.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough and chewy. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined and then stop.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. If your kitchen is too cold, the dough will take longer to rise.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
