Toddi’s Easter Bread

Add:  2 cakes of yeast OR 4 pkgs. dry yeast
 
Stir to dissolve yeast
 
Add:  1 c. vegetable oil
           1 ½ c. sugar
           ½ jar anise seed
yellow food coloring as desired
 
Mix to combine, then add 8 ½ c. flour a little at a time just enough to make a soft dough (not sticky, not hard).  Knead until all is smooth and combined.
 
Run a large bowl or pan under hot water so it’s warm.  Spray with some cooking spray or grease it.  Turn the dough into the bowl to raise.  Allow to raise for about three hours in a warm place.  After it has doubled in bulk, punch it down and let it raise again for another hour or so.
