Anisette Toasts



I made these last night. The dough was very soft and the 'loaves' didn't hold their shape, but the texture of the finished product is better for it, light and crisp.

Anisette Toasts
3/4 cup oil
2 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla or almond extract
1/4 cup anisette
4 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch salt
4 cups flour
3/4 cup coarsely chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds, walnuts, etc)
(Anise seeds)

Bowl 1: combine oil and sugar. Bowl 2: Beat the eggs, add the flavorings, and then in the baking powder and salt. Bowl 3, large: Put the flour in this bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in the liquid and stir to incorporate. Add the nuts at some point. On a greased sheet pan with sides form three loaves and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove to a rack and slice into 1/2 inch slices, then return to the oven until toasted, turning over to toast the other side. You could turn the oven down to 300 degrees for this, but I got tired of waiting and turned it back to 350. So it was something like 10 minutes at 300 and 10 minutes at 350.

I'm just thrilled that they don't have the texture of concrete.

They still don't taste like anise, a couple of days later, but are still good.
