  • Preheat oven to 200* C (390* F) Fan.
  • In a mixers bowl, add the flour, sugar, yeast and water. Whisk to combine completely and beat for 1-2 minutes with the hook attachment
  • Add the oil and salt and continue to beat for 8-10 minutes, until you have a smooth dough.
  • Remove the bowl form the mixers stand and add the walnuts and anise.
  • Gently fold with a spatula, until all of the walnuts and anise are well distributed within the dough.
  • Cover with a towel and let it rest and rise until it doubles in size. This may take about an hour.
  • When ready, transfer dough to a working surface. Press down on it to release the air and knead for a few minutes.
  • Brush it with some oil and place back in the bowl.
  • Cover with some towels and allow it to rise a second time.
  • When ready, divide the dough in half to make 2 small wreaths.
  • Divide each piece of dough into 3 equal parts. Shape two pieces into long cords. Braid them into a wreath.
  • Shape the third piece into two cords and create a cross. Place the cross in the hole at the center of the wreath, attaching the ends to its circumference.
  • Place the dyed egg in the center of the cross to make give it its shape, remove it and set it aside until needed.  
  • Repeat the same process for the second wreath.
  • Place both bread wreaths in a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes.
  • When ready, place a boiled, dyed egg in the center of the cross, where you have created its shape earlier.
