Chef Frank makes Anisette Toast

Anise is a distinctly Italian flavor to me. I remember my POP dunking these in his coffee. This is a great basic recipe for biscotti. If you don't like anise you can substitute any flavor you want.

How good of you to acknowledge imperfections in cooking or baking! Also, that imperfect results are worth eating. Last (my two cents’ worth), I learn from my cooking mistakes.

[VerhoevenSimon]

I really adored this episode. I loved the little anecdotes, you sharing your little mishaps, ...

[OurKitchenClassroom]

Love, love 💜LOVE💜 that you not only highlight your mistakes (which help us all learn), but that you talk about making your version a little differently from the traditional way because that's how you **like** it!!! 💜💜💜 Great food doesn't have to be perfect, or the same as everything else, to be great--just like great people! Thank you, Chef!

Awesome chef - made me have an instant flashback to my childhood. I will now have to add this to my recipes. Salute

Thank you for the shout out for MYBUBBIESKITCHEN Chef. The reason you like them a little soft in the middle is because that’s how Stella Doro Annisette Toast tasted. We’re used to the Biscotti from the Italian bakeries in Brooklyn where they are crisp all the way through. Both are delicious. Can’t wait to cook with you again!

Nice, such a perfect Sunday morning recipe for breakfast. Definitely doing this next Sunday, thanks Frank!

Chef Frank I love biscotti! In fact I make them frequently, about a couple of batches a month to enjoy with my coffee. I never thought of adding anise. I'm looking forward to making this recipe. Thanks!

[katinapactol-baez]

Yum, haven't had these in years... looking forward to having them again.

[LongBeachDragon]

I have been dying for these. I thinknit is an east coast thing because anyone I know on the west coast has never heard of them (both the biscotti anisette toast and company). Thank you!!

[florencehardy]

Grazie Chef Frank! Looking forward to trying this recipe. 😊

[FerraroKitchen]

Fantastic, this is Joe's top favorite accompaniments with caffeine. Well done Chef.

I think Stella Doro *is* an East Coast thing. I remember them growing up in Pennsylvania. I haven't seen them where I live now (California).

It put such a smile around my heart at the end of the video when you dunked the toast in your coffee the way your Pop used to. Yep. Food is love. Food is memory. Food is family.

My wife and I just got these in the oven for their second bake- I tasted a couple little crumbly bits that fell off while we were cutting them up- so good!

[MerdaPura]

When you scuff it with love it tastes even better

"Stella Dora... Stella Dora... where have I <picture shows up> yep, I know them. My family got cookies from them too at some point" I can certainly say I don't like anise. One of my saddest moments was making chocolate chip cookies and putting in anise extract instead of vanilla. I knew immediately a mistake had been made from the smell. My roommate said they used the whole bottle of vanilla (wat) and bought anise extract for a different recipe... and then decided it wasn't what they wanted. I didn't have extra ingredients so I went with it. It was like eating a chocolate chip biscotti. Best biscotti I've had... but not my goal. I may have to make this for my family (if anything, to use up the rest of that extract)

Stella Doro "S" Cookies were the version of it that I had. This is SERIOUSLY my favorite dessert with coffee.

[ceegee]

Chef, they sell SD everywhere in the US. If you get a chance, Court Street Pastry in Caroll Gardens has the best version of it. BTW, I appreciate you making videos about what you like! Keep up the great work.

[henrycooks]

My 86 year old mother loves these I get her the ones from Stella along with the breakfast ones. They look fantastic, will be making these, today. Chef get yourself some annis oil instead of the extract, 10 times stronger, be careful if you do a little goes a long way. Making these gave you some good memories I bet your grandpa would have loved your version.

[jeanettemarkley]

I made a few different kinds of biscotti, but I never made anise flavored for some reason. Maybe I'll give this a try.

[macmanmpls]

I LOVE Stella Doro cookies especially the breakfast treats. I have to purchase them thru Walmart and have them shipped to me. You're awesome btw.
