Bread turned out just like the picture - moist, but not gooey. Recipe did not specify to use whole, ground or cracked anise seeds so I used 1/2 ground and 1/2 cracked. The licorice accent was barely detectable and family enjoyed the flavor it gave to bread. However, they thought additional flavoring in glaze overwelmed it (I think it's a matter of personal taste.) We will definately make again as a preferred alternative to the otherwise heavy pumpkin breads frequently seen.

Delicious! The topping makes it. I suggest dividing the batter into two loaf pans so that because the baked loaves will be shorter you will get frosting in every bite. Or,to the loaf, add anise extract along with the seed to boost the flavor. I used a fresh pumpkin baked and mashed which has a milder flavor than canned.
