Looking back, it does seem like 3 tablespoons is a lot of anise seeds for that amount of dough, but I will admit I haven't made this recipe in a while. Perhaps it's time for another test -- maybe my anise seeds were old and not as strong? Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the bread overall!Mercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097330009175643958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-20899715792998783032013-10-02T09:48:14.069-05:002013-10-02T09:48:14.069-05:00I made this flatbread for the first time and I hav...I made this flatbread for the first time and I have a few comments. Overall, the recipe makes a very good bread. I do question the stated amount of aniseed, however: I used only 1 tbsp, and the bread still tasted strongly of anise, to the point we could not taste the sesame seeds or the other spices. I'll make it again, but will further reduce the aniseed amount; I also plan to lightly toast the sesame seeds. Finally, I substituted wheat germ for the cracked wheat. Bottom line: this recipe is a keeper, despite all of the above. Thank you for sharing it.Carlislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409244648657286578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-62854634627732974102009-01-12T17:02:00.000-05:002009-01-12T17:02:00.000-05:00Oh my God!!
