Add 6 g of salt and mix together.

Add 1 egg to the mixture.

In a separate bowl, dissolve 10 g of instant dry yeast in 80 g of water and add to the mixture.

Add 120 g of butter or margarine and mix until well combined.

Knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

After kneading, add 1 tablespoon of anise seeds and knead for a couple more minutes until integrated.

Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

Grease a baking tray and sprinkle a little flour on it.

Roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness.

Place the pieces on the baking tray, stretching them a little as you place them.

Let the pieces rest until they double in size, approximately 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 170°C (338°F).
