Biscotti Del Laggaccio (Aniseed Biscotti)

Ingredients: 1 Package(s) active dry yeast; 2 1/2 tsp warm water 3/4 Cup(s) Flour, all purpose 1 unbleached 1/2 Cup(s) sugar water & water 1/4 Cup(s) butter; unsalted, 1/2 stick cut i 1 Tablespoon(s) aniseed salt Directions: "Did Columbus and his crews sail to the new world eating these traditional Ligurian biscotti? It's entirely possible, although theirs would have been cooked much longer to drive off all the moisture, allowing them to keep foran entire ocean crossing. Though these biscotti are made with an enriched bread dough instead of the traditional cookie dough and have a somewhat softer texture, they keep well when stored in an airtight container." Make the sponge: In the bowl of an electric mixer proof the yeast in the water for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy. Whisk in the flour and let the sponge stand, covered with plastic wrap, for 30 minutes or until itis foamy. To the sponge, add the sugar, the water and the butter and stir the mixture until it is combined well. Add the flour, the aniseed, and the saltand with the electric mixer fitted with the dough hook knead the dough for 3 minutes, or until it is smooth but still sticky. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat it with the oil, and let it rise, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for 1 1/2 hours, or until it is double in bulk. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, halve it, and with floured hands form each piece of dough into a flattish log 15 inches long and 2 inches wide. Transfer the logs to a buttered and floured baking sheetand let them rise, covered with a kitchen towel, for 2 hours, or until theyare double in bulk. Bake the logs in the middle of a preheated 350F oven for 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown, and let them cool on the baking sheet on a rack for 10 minutes. On a cutting board cut the logs crosswise on the diagonal into 1 inch thick slices, arrange the biscotti, cut sides down, onthe baking sheet and bake them in the 350F oven for 10 minutes on each side, or until they are pale golden. Transfer the biscotti to racks to cooland store them in airtight containers. MAKES:ABOUT 30 BISCOTTI SOURCE: Gourmet magazine, December 1992
