Directions
Moroccan Anise Bread, This is a North African (Moroccan) bread recipe that I found on the recipesource com website The recipe makes 2 round loaves , Anise is a very potent licorice flavor to anyone who might be unaware When baking this recipe the flavor of the anise doesn’t so much bake out but it is lessened by a considerable amount, yet there is a slight licorice flavor there I myself am not fond of the flavor, yet the bread was quite good! Smells just like normal bread Had comments on it tasting like Rye
A very dense and heavy bread, sesame seeds add a nice finish to it
Recommend cutting it into small chunks considering how dense it is Always pair with a nice drink to help wash it down
