Olive Oil Tortas

Ingredients

• 250 g Wheat flour
• 100 ml Extra virgin olive oil
• 50 ml Water
• 50 g Sugar
• 1 TL Anise seeds
• 1/2 TL Dry yeast
• Eine Prise Salt
• Zusätzlich Coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix the yeast with 2 tablespoons of warm water and a pinch of sugar, and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, anise seeds, and salt.
3. Add the olive oil, remaining water, and yeast mixture to the flour and knead everything into a smooth, elastic dough (about 10 minutes).
4. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces. Roll out each piece very thinly into a circle (about 10-12 cm diameter).
6. Place the dough circles on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Brush with a little olive oil and generously sprinkle with coarse sugar.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. They should be very thin and crunchy.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. They will become even crispier as they cool.
