Italian Almond BreadAlmond Bread with Anise Seed
Using 2 cups warm water dissolve yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add all ingredients, except flour and almonds. Mix well. Add 3 cups flour and beat till smooth. Add the ground almond and enough additional flour till dough is easy to handle. On a lightly floured board, knead bread till smooth. Place in a greased bowl then turn 180 degrees to where the greased side is up, cover and let stand in a warm place. When bread dough has risen and doubled in size(50 to 60 minutes), punch down and divide in half. Form each half into a loaf and place each into greased bread pans. Let dough rise again till doubled in size. Bake at 350 degrees in a pre-heated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove Almond bread from pans and brush with warm butter. Baking times may vary. To test, tap top of bread with finger. It should make a hollow sound. The loaves should look shiny and golden brown.
