Mix yeast with warm water and sugar in a bowl until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Combine bread flour, anise seeds, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and milk to the dry ingredients.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and shape it into small round balls.

Place the balls on a greased baking tray, leaving space between them.

Cover the tray with a cloth and let the balls rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Bake the Mosbolletjies for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter before serving.
