How to Make Anise Easter Bread Bread Machine Loaf
- **Bread Machine Method:** Combine all ingredients in your bread machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Select the 'sweet bread' setting with a light crust option.
- **Dough Check:** Monitor the dough during the mixing cycle. It should form a smooth, slightly tacky ball. If too sticky, add 1 teaspoon of flour at a time. If too dry, add 1 teaspoon of milk at a time.
- **First Rise:** Once the bread machine cycle is complete, gently remove the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface.
- **Shaping:** Shape the dough into a loose braid. (If using the KitchenAid method, follow steps 5-8 after the first rise.)
- **Second Rise (Hand-Shaping or KitchenAid):** Let the braided loaf rest in a lightly greased bowl for 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- **Baking:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the loaf with melted butter.
- **Bake:** Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
- **Cool & Glaze:** Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before glazing.
- **Frosting:** Glaze with a thick confectioners' sugar and cream frosting.
- **Garnish:** Sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds or colorful sprinkles.
