Categories     Breads

Time 2h40m

Yield 2 loaves, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 1/3 cups warm water
1 teaspoon honey or 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 1/2 teaspoons anise seeds
2 teaspoons salt
4 cups all-purpose flour, unbleached
1 egg white
3 tablespoons sesame seeds

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.
  • Add the remaining water, oil, anise, salt, and 2 cups of the flour to a large bowl. Gradually stir in the remaining flour until the mixture holds together.
  • On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover loosely with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Punch down the dough and divide in half. Shape each piece into a ball, cover, and let rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle a large baking sheet with cornmeal or fine semolina (or you can grease the baking sheet). Flatten each dough ball into a 6-inch round. Some cooks flute the outer edge, others leave it plain; it's your choice. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet, cover, and let.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Pierce the dough around the sides with the tines of a fork or a toothpick. Beat egg whites with water, and brush the tops of the loaves with the egg white mixture. Then lightly sprinkle the top of the loaf with the sesame seeds.
  • Bake at 375° until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I've been looking for a good Moroccan bread recipe for a while now, and this one is definitely a keeper! The bread is soft and fluffy, with a slightly sweet flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This bread was easy to make and turned out great! I served it with a dipping sauce made from olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs, and it was a perfect appetizer.

I'm not a huge fan of anise, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The bread was delicious and the anise flavor was subtle and not overpowering at all.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a little dry and the anise flavor was overpowering.

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the bread always turns out perfect. I've even started experimenting with different flavors, like adding cinnamon or cardamom.

I've never had Moroccan bread before, but this recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious! The bread had a slightly sweet flavor and a crispy crust. I served it with hummus and baba ganoush, and it was a hit.

This bread was a delight to make and even better to eat! The anise flavor was subtle and delicate, and the bread itself was soft and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.
