Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 10 grams Dry yeast
- 250 milliliters Warm milk
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Anise seeds
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk with the dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and anise seeds. Mix to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the foamy yeast mixture, eggs, and softened butter to the dry ingredients. Mix the dough until it begins to come together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough to release the air and divide it into 2 or 3 equal portions, depending on the desired loaf size. Shape each portion into a round or oval loaf.
Place the shaped loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them lightly with a towel and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Optionally, brush the tops of the loaves with a beaten egg for a glossy finish and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade Peruvian Pan De Anis!
