      Title: St Basil's Bread
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 1 Loaf
 
  4 1/2 c  Flour
      1 pk Dry yeast
      1 ts Grated lemon peel
    1/2 ts Anise seed; crushed
      1 c  Milk
    1/4 c  Butter
    1/4 c  Sugar
    3/4 ts Salt
      2 lg Eggs
      1    Beaten egg yolk
           Sesame seeds
 
  In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, lemon peel,
  and anise seed. Heat together milk, butter, sugar, and
  salt to 120°F/49°C, stirring constantly. Add to dry
  mixture; add 2 eggs and beat at low speed of mixer for 1
  minute, then at high speed for 3 minutes. By hand, stir in
  enough flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto floured
  surface and knead until smooth. Shape into a ball, place
  in lightly greased bowl, then turn over once to grease
  top.
  
  Cover; let rise until double (1 to 1 1/4 hours). Punch
  down and divide into sixths. Cover; let rest for 10
  minutes so it is easier to roll out. Shape a sixth of
  dough into flat 8" round. Place in greased 8" round cake
  pan. Repeat with second sixth. Divide third portion into 2
  parts. Shape each into 18" long strands, then twist both
  together into a rope and place in a 7" circle on top of
  pan. Repeat with remaining dough so you have 2 breads.
  Combine egg yolk with it and brush on loaves once they
  have risen until double (30-45 minutes). Sprinkle with
  sesame seeds. Bake at 375°F/190°C for 20-25 minutes until
  nicely browned. Remove from pans. Cool on rack.
