If you don't like fennel flavour I made a batch of them this week with dried rosemary which was equally delicious!
Fennel Seed and Marsala Rings:
3 cups plain
flour
¼ cup caster
sugar
1 ½ tablespoon
baking powder
1 tablespoon
fennel seeds
1 teaspoon
sea salt flakes
1/3 cup
sweet marsala
½ cup extra
virgin olive oil
1 egg yolk
Preheat oven
to 180 degrees Celsius. Lightly grease a baking tray.
Combine the
flour, sugar, baking powder, fennel seeds and sea salt in a bowl.
Combine the
marsala, olive oil and 1/3 cup water in a bowl and whisk to combine. Add to the
dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Turn the
dough out onto a clean surface. Roll into 10cm long logs and form each log into
a ring. Place on the prepared tray.
To make a
glaze, combine the egg yolk with a tablespoon of water. Brush the rings with
the glaze and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes reduce the temperature to
150 degrees and bake for another 15-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
