Pour the flour on a wooden slab and shape it into a fountain.

Spread the leaven dough in the middle and add 2 eggs, sugar, oil, aniseed, beer yeast dissolved in milk and some drops of a sweet liquor depending on taste.
Knead thoroughly in order to obtain an elastic dough. 
Divide the dough in two and give the one half a round shape similar to a loaf of bread.

 
Roll up the other half on the slab in order to obtain a 20-25cm. long and 2-3 cm. wide cylinder. With the fingers press on the two ends of the cylinder to attach them to the contour of the cob (the cylinder should look like a handle).

Lay an egg in the centre and fix it with two stripes of dough crossed.
Let it leaven for about an hour.
Bake in pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes.

According to the Teramo tradition this brioche is served for breakfast on Easter day.
