Krachel or Moroccan Brioche

I had made these Krachel rolls a while ago but haven't had the chance to post the recipe.
These are sweet rolls that you wouldn't serve with a meal like a regular roll; they are meant to be served for breakfast with some jam and a nice cup of coffee or as a snack. the aroma that the anise and sesame seeds give the roll, transport you to the spice and seeds markets in Marrakesh. The brioche like texture is irresistible especially when the rolls are right out of the oven.You don't have to add the sesame seeds and anise seeds if you're not a fan.



Ingredients:

1 tbs yeast diluted in 6 tbs of warm milk

3 cups of flour

1/2 tsp of salt

6 tbs of sugar

4 eggs

2 sticks of butter at room temperature

1 tbs anise seeds (toasted on a pan to bring out aroma)

1 egg+1tbs water for egg wash

some sesame seeds to sprinkle

Directions:

Add the yeast and milk mixture, salt nd anise seeds to the flour, mix and add the sugar. Add the 4 eggs one by one mix a little and add the 2 sticks of butter little by little until all combined. A standup mixer will be perfect for this recipe, otherwise just mix with your hands really well until you achieve a very soft dough.

Let the dough rest for 1 hour until it doubles in size and then flatten it on a smooth surface and start making little rolls with your hands and place on a butterd/floured cookie sheet cover with a clean cloth and let them rise for 1 hour.

Brush with some egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds (if desired) and bake in a 360 degrees oven for 20-30 minutes.

Enjoy!!
