Campanile

Bloom yeast in warm milk with a spoonful of sugar until foamy.

Mix in flour, eggs, remaining sugar, butter, orange zest, anise, and salt, then knead to a soft dough.

Let the dough rise until doubled, then shape it into a large ring.

Nest hard-boiled eggs into the ring and secure them with narrow strips of dough.

Brush with egg wash and bake until glossy, golden, and cooked through.
