Add melted butter, eggs, and orange blossom water to the yeast mixture.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

After rising, punch down the dough and divide it into small balls.

Shape each ball into a flat disc and place on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle sesame seeds and anise seeds on top of each disc.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
