Sweet Provencal Flatbread With Anise Seeds

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a bucket or mixing bowl, cover loosely and allow to rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
  2. Refrigerate for up to two weeks, removing portions as needed for daily loaves.
  3. The wet dough can be used at room temperature but is easier to handle when cold.
  4. Cut off a pound of dough (about the size of a grapefruit) with a kitchen scissors or a serrated knife.
  5. Gently form a smooth ball by generously dusting the ball with flour and stretching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all four sides, rotating the ball a quarter-turn as you go.
  6. Using your hands, a rolling pin, and enough dusting flour to prevent sticking, flatten the ball to a thickness of 1/4-inch.
  7. Like pizza (1/8-inch thick dough), these dont need to rest after you roll them out.
  8. Keeping your work surface well-dusted with flour, use a pizza cutter to make eight triangular flatbreads.
  9. Using a spatula or your fingers, lift the triangles onto a greased cookie sheet, a silicone mat, or a pizza peel well-dusted with flour or covered with parchment paper.
  10. Use a pastry brush to paint the triangles with water and sprinkle with anise seeds.
  11. Slide them onto the pre-heated baking stone (or place the cookie sheet or silicone pad on the stone).
  12. Pour 1 cup of tap water into the broiler tray and quickly close the oven door.
  13. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until richly browned and firm.
