How to make Oil Rusks with Anise Seeds
- Soak the anise seeds in half a cup of warm water and let them release their aroma for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix the sourdough starter, olive oil, orange juice, and the water with the anise seeds (including the seeds).
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Knead until you get a soft, slightly oily dough that does not stick to your hands.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape into two long loaves. Place them in greased baking pans, cover, and leave to rise in a warm place for 6–8 hours until doubled in size.
- Score the loaves into slices and preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake for about 45 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool completely, then cut along the scored lines and spread the slices on a baking tray.
- Bake again at low temperature (100–120°C / 212–248°F) until completely crisp.
- Let cool and store in an airtight container.
