Mix the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar, then let it foam for 8 minutes.
Mix the flour, remaining sugar, salt, orange zest, and anise.
Add the eggs, butter, and yeasted milk, then knead an elastic dough.
Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and bone strips.
Rest the shaped dough on the tray for 30 minutes.
Bake for 25 minutes at 180°C.
💡 Tip: Do not make the bone strips too thin; they can dry out in the oven and pull away from the bread surface.
