ANISE CHRISTMAS BREAD
This is a simple, beautiful, Mexican-style holiday bread flavored with candied cherries
and anise extract. It is a perfect bread for end-of-the-year festivities since anise is tra-
ditionally served at the end of a meal to signify a wish for good fortune. The dough
turns a lovely pink hue as the cherries are incorporated into it by the kneading blade.
If you like a fancier loaf, glaze it with Confectioners’ Sugar Icing after baking.
