📝 Preparation Steps

Bread
2
Beat zest of 1 lemon, zest of 1 orange, 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp. anise liqueur (if using), 1 tsp. dark rum (if using), 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, 1 tsp. orange extract, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and ½ tsp. lemon extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until pale and creamy, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Add 1 large egg, room temperature, and beat until combined (it’s okay if mixture looks curdled).

Switch to the dough hook and add ⅔ cup whole milk, room temperature, ¼ cup fresh orange juice, 2 tsp. instant yeast, and 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour. Mix on low speed, scraping bottom and sides of bowl once or twice, until a smooth, soft dough forms, 18–⏱️ 20 minutes (toward the end of mixing, dough will release cleanly from the sides of bowl but may still stick to bottom).

Transfer dough to a surface and form into a ball. Lightly coat mixer bowl with vegetable oil, then return dough to bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a plate and let dough rise in a warm spot until nearly doubled in size, 2–⏱️ 3 hours. Chill dough at least ⏱️ 30 minutes to firm up.

5
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a square. Roll out to a 13x9" rectangle, then rotate dough so a long side is closest to you. Using a bench scraper or knife, cut dough vertically into 8 strips. Gently roll up each strip into a coil (don’t roll too tight or the centers will pop out while proofing).
6
Lightly coat a 9"-diameter cake pan with oil. Arrange dough coils, cut side down, in pan, starting in the center, then working around the perimeter. Cover with plastic wrap or a plate and let dough rise in a warm spot until nearly doubled in size, 1–⏱️ 2 hours.
7
Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°. Uncover pan and bake bread until the center of each coil is golden brown (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of bread should register 190°), 23–⏱️ 28 minutes. Let cool in pan ⏱️ 15 minutes, then unmold fuatha and transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Let cool completely, about ⏱️ 45 minutes. Do ahead: Dough can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled after first rise.
