Ingredients

How to make it

  • Put the ingredients in a bowl in the order listed above, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  • Add the flour one cup at a time, mixing well after each cup until it resembles a stiff bread dough.
  • Remove from the bowl and knead a little bit on a board until smooth.
  • Break off small pieces of the dough and roll out into a pencil-like shape.
  • Form the roll into a ring-shape, pressing one end down on top of the other.
  • Place about ½ cup of sugar in a small plate and gently press the top of each ciambella into the sugar.
  • Place the ciambelle on a non-stick, ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about half an hour or until tops turn golden brown.
  • Suggestion: toast anise seed to bring out the oils, hence, more flavor before adding to bowl.
