Instructions

  1. Put 30 g of sultanas in a small bowl with 2 tbsp of vin santo and leave to swell for 30 minutes. Drain them well and pat dry, keeping any leftover wine for serving.
  2. Crumble 4 g of fresh yeast into 60 ml of warm water (about 35C) and stir until dissolved. Beat in 20 g of the flour to make a loose batter, cover and leave in a warm place for 20 minutes, until domed and frothy.
  3. Tip the remaining 100 g of flour onto a board with 30 g of caster sugar, 1 pinch of fine salt and 1 tsp of aniseed. Make a well, add the starter and 15 g of softened butter, and bring together with your hands.
