These small, sweet loaves have a texture similar to that of kaiser rolls.
Ingredients:
1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (100° to 110°)
1/2 cup sugar, divided
5 cups bread flour
1 (2.3-ounce) jar anise seeds (1/2 cup)
6 tablespoons shortening
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Stir together yeast, 1 cup warm water, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes.
2. Stir together remaining 6 tablespoons sugar, flour, and next 4 ingredients in bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer. Add yeast mixture, and beat at medium speed with electric mixer, using dough hook attachment, 6 minutes.
3. Divide dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round loaf, and place on 3 lightly greased baking sheets (4 loaves per baking sheet).
4. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 2 to 3 hours or until doubled in bulk.
5. Bake at 425° for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets on wire racks.
