Steps:
- Mix 1 cup of flour with sugar, salt, and yeast in a bowl, stir well. Place milk and anise extract into a small saucepan over low heat, and warm to about 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Make a well in the center of the flour mixture with your hand, and pour in the milk mixture; swirl with your hand in a circular motion to combine the flour mixture with the milk mixture. Mix in butter and eggs, one at a time, then mix in remaining flour until dough begins to pull together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, and knead until soft but elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth, and let dough rest for 10 minutes; cut dough into halves.
- On floured work surface, roll each half into a ball, then shape the balls into 2 long pieces, about 1 1/2 inches thick and 18 to 20 inches long. Pinch the 2 top ends together, and loosely twist the pieces to form a twisted loaf; pinch the bottom ends together, and tuck the two ends underneath the loaf. (Alternately, form the twist into a ring, and pinch the ends together.)
- Grease a baking sheet, lay the loaf onto the prepared sheet, and cover with a damp towel; let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Brush loaf with beaten egg, and sprinkle with colored decorating dragees.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake the decorated loaf in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Watch closely towards the end of the baking time that the bread does not begin to burn. Transfer to wire rack immediately after baking to cool.

SWEET AND GOLDEN EASTER BREAD
It is an Italian tradition to make this sweet, golden braid at Easter. This family heirloom recipe came from my mother-in-law and was passed down to her from her mother. If you're not a fan of raisins, the bread is just as wonderful without them. -Kathi West, Canton, Michigan

- If you are adding colored eggs, now is the time to color them. Follow the dye directions on the box or use natural dye and let the eggs sit for an hour. The longer they sit the more vibrant the color.
- In a small saucepan heat the milk over medium to 110 F (I just test the water with my finger and know it’s the right temperature…warm like the temperature of a baby bottle, not hot). Add the yeast to a small bowl with the warm milk and whisk it around with 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes).

- Fill a non-metal cup with 1 cup lukewarm water (temperature of 100 – 110 degrees F – use a thermometer). Sprinkle in yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar, without stirring. Let stand for 10 minutes then stir.
- Meanwhile, scald the milk. Place milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium high heat. Slowly heat the milk while stirring constantly just until it just starts to come to light boil. Immediately remove it from the heat (do not let it come to a full boil). Let the milk sit for 2 – 4 minutes to cool down slightly.
- Into the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add scalded milk, melted butter, ¾ cup sugar and salt; beat on medium speed. Add softened yeast and beat again on medium speed to combine.
- Gradually add about half of the flour and beat on medium speed to make a thick batter. Add 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks and lemon rind. Beat at medium speed to combine.
