Servings: persons

3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup 2% milk
1/3 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup water
1 large egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 to 3 teaspoons aniseed
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 to 3 tablespoons 2% milk

1
In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, butter and water to 120u00b0-130u00b0; add to dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add egg, lemon juice, aniseed, lemon zest and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes longer. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 35-40 minutes.
3
Punch dough down. Place in a greased 8x4-in. loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.
4
Preheat oven to 375u00b0; bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
5
For glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Spread over top of warm loaf, allowing glaze to drape down the sides. Cool.
