For a richer flavor, consider toasting the anise seeds lightly before adding them to the batter. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1.25 tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk, then letting it sit for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened. Store cooled Anise Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease three small loaf pans to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, baking soda, and salt. (Mixing time: 2 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, corn syrup, molasses, eggs, and melted butter until well combined. (Mixing time: 3 minutes)
04
StepGradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough bread. Stir in the anise seeds. (Mixing time: 5 minutes)
05
StepEvenly divide the batter among the prepared loaf pans. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 45 minutes. Start checking for doneness around the 40-minute mark to prevent overbaking. (Bake time: 45 minutes)
07
StepRemove the pans from the oven and let cool on their sides for 15 minutes before loosening the sides of the loaves from the pans. (Cooling time: 15 minutes)
08
StepCarefully remove the loaves from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. (Cooling time: 1 hour)
