Preparation Dissolve the yeast in a glass of warm milk. Then add it to the flour which you have put onto a pastry board . Make a well in the middle and besides the yeast, add the eggs and the sugar.

While you are mixing add the grated rind of a lemon and the aniseed and oil. Make a ball and let it rest for 30 minutes in a warm place. Knead it again and let it rest for another 30 minutes.

Then bake it in the oven at 200°C. for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 150° and bake for another 45 minutes
 
The Chef's tips You should eat it in the morning with cold meats, salame or bacon or with ricotta cheese and for the more gluttonous with nutella.
 
Curiosity If you model the dough into the form of a small man and you put an egg at the middle, this will be a sweet present for your children.
