Recipe
Ingredients
5 cup sifted all purpose flour 2 cup sugar 1 salt 3 tbsp butter or oil 1 active dry yeast (use 2 1 packages if time is short) 1 cup warm water (105 - 1150f) 1 egg, slightly beaten 1/2 cup melted butter 2 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp anise extract or 1/4 cup aniseeds
Recipe
Preparation
1. Sift flour, 1 cup sugar adn salt together. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. If using oil, stir oil into liquid ingredients after adding the egg.
2. Dissolve yeast in warm water, stir vigorously, and allow to ferment for 5 to 10 minutes. Then add the egg and anise extract or aniseeds.
3. Add a small quantity of the flour mixture to the yeast and beat until thoroughly blended. Let stand for a few minutes, or until dough becomes light and airy.
4. Add the rest of the flour mixture, adding more flour if necessary to make a stiff dough. Knead on a lightly floured board until satiny.
5. Butter the top of the dough, cover with wax paper and let rise until doubled.
6. When the bread has risen, punch it down, and let it rise until doubled again.
7. Knead the dough slightly, then form into balls the size of an orange. With a rolling pin, flatten to 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
8. Prepare a topping by mixing together the melted butter, remaining 1 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Spread topping on all sides of the rolls.
9. Let rolls rise until light and about doubled in size. When nearly doubled, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden. Slice thinly and butter generously with soft butter. Arrange slices on a platter as desired. They will keep for 2 to 3 days at room temperature when well wrapped.
Maximum recommended freezer storage: 3 months
Makes 8 to 10 small loaves.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Rather than thinking about which food types you really should leave out of your meal plan, focus on the nutritionally sound foods that you are able to introduce to your meal plan. If you manage to inject some nourishing grains and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon see that stop feeling hungry and have a significantl;y decreased risk of giving in to those damaging midday snacks.
Some reduced carb diet guidlines:
* Use splenda as a substitute for sugar.
Many recipes that require sugar can be changed to make use of a sugar replacement instead. It is not exactly the same so you will have to do a bit of trial and error and it might not work for everything, but it gives very good results for the most part.
* Use soy flour or soy baking mix.
When you require flour for baked goods, repalce it with soy flour or a baking mix such as Atkins soya baking mix. In many cases, you can convert your best loved recipes that use normal wheat flour to use these.
Foods containing lycopene
(includes apricots, red peppers & baby jackfruit)
Lycopene is a natural compound and one of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is behind the red color of quite a few fruits and vegetables.
Usefully, unlike numerous nutritional compounds, it does not become less effective if cooked but is observably increased in efficacy by the cooking process.
.
Lycoprene's main advantage is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to lower the chances of developing cancer.
Lycopene is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It is also thought to impede the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
