1 oz ouzo (optional)

The Greeks wrap coins in foil and knead them into this bread. They
believe anyone who finds a coin will have good luck in the coming
year.
Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. Put spices, orange
peel,bay leaf, and ouzo in a pot with the 1/2 cup water and bring to
a boil. Set aside to steep and cool. Heat milk and remove from heat.
Add the butter and allow the milk to cool slightly. Put the flour,
sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in eggs, yeast, milk mixture,
and flavored water (remove only the bay leaf) Stir the mixture until
all the flour has been absorbed.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead until
smooth, about 20 minutes. Place in a buttered bowl, and flip the
dough so the top is greased as well. Cover with a towel dampened with
hot water. Set in a warm, draft free place to rise until doubled in
bulk, about 4-6 hours.
Punch down the dough and knead for about 5 minutes. Shape into one
large round loaf and decorate the top with walnut halves. Set aside
to rise once more, about 2 hours (uncovered). Bake in a preheated 350
F oven for 1 hour.
Makes 1 loaf.

Weight loss hints and tips
If you really want to shed a few pounds and also better your general health, among other things you really should follow a specially prepared wholesome meal plan. Ideally, this must take in 5 helpings of fruit & vegetables every day and also include the correct mix of fat, carbohydrates and proteins.
In deciding on a meal plan, you have to make sure you moderate your intake of fat, refined carbohydrates and salt.
When chosing foods for dieting, dieters ordinarily look at retail store and well known products referred to as 'low in fat'. To do this is ordinarily a mistake, in that a food item might just be significantly reduced in fats, but also high in carbohydrates and calories.
Drink more water. Occasionally at some stage in a busy morning, you presume you want a snack but in actuality you only want a cold glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of being thirsty and being hungry are nearly the same, but one of the two can result in a fat tummy and the other leads to no damage.
As an alternative to thinking about those foods that you should remove from your meal plan, look at the "good" foods that you might want to bring into your meal plan. If you insert a few nourishing pulses and vegetables into your dietary regime, you will be amazed to find that you feel more full and have a far decreased risk of falling prey to those detrimental afternoon biscuits.
