ITALIAN LEMON-RICOTTA BREAD
The beautiful, evocative flavors of Italy are in this delicate sweet bread—lemon, anise,
walnuts, and raisins. Anise is a favorite kitchen garden flavor that has been used in
breads since antiquity. If you are not familiar with it, take a deep breath of Pernod
liqueur and you will experience its fragrance. Serve this bread toasted for dessert or as
an incredible French toast for breakfast.
