"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Directions:
In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast in 1 1/2 cups warm milk; set aside. In a very large bowl, add flour, sugar, salt and baking soda; mix well. In another bowl, mix the rest of the milk, butter, oil and anise seeds. Add the yeast mixture; beat well. Add the wet mixture into the dry; mix until well-incorporated. On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Place into a large greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Form into 4 to 5 balls and place onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Cover with a dish towel and let rise for another hour. Brush tops with beaten egg wash and bake in a preheated 350º oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
