Tortas De Aceite Y Anís
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or 310 g all-purpose flour
- 3 cups bread flour or 350 g bread flour
- 4 teaspoons invert sugar (you can substitute corn syrup) or 27 g invert sugar
- 1 cup water or 230 g water
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast or 13 g active dry yeast
- 1 1/4 cups extra virgin olive oil or 280 g extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon anise seed or 10 g anise seed
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds or 7 g sesame seeds
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt or 3 g sea salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons sugar or 10 g sugar
- 6 drops anise oil (or essence, 0,3 grams)
- 1/4 cup sugar (or more)
- Measure the flour and put in a bowl.
- Add the liquid ingredients and mix well.
- Mix in the other dry ingredients, except for the 1/4 cup sugar to be used for dredging, and knead for just a couple of minutes.
- Cover the dough and let rise until doubled in size. The amount of time required will depend on the yeast and the dough temperature, but probably about 1.5 hours.
- Preheat a convection oven to 375. A standard oven to about 400 degrees.
- Place parchment paper on your baking sheet.
- When dough has doubled, punch it down to deflate it.
- Pinch off plum sized balls of dough, and roll into circles about 8 inches across and 1/8 inch thick.
- Note: Don't worry about using flour on the countertop, the oil will be oozing from every pore of the dough and it won't stick to anything.
- Put the sugar for dredging on a plate.
- Dredge one side of the torta by laying it on the plate of sugar.
- Place torta sugar side up, onto the parchment covered baking sheet.
- Bake tortas about 10 minutes. You will want to watch as they get close to the end to make sure they don't get too dark.
- Remove tortas from the baking sheet and cool them on a rack.
- Eat and enjoy!
