Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan, and set aside. In a saucepan, bring the honey, brown sugar, and water to a boil. Boil gently over medium heat, stirring once or twice, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and gradually sift in 1 cup of the flour, whisking steadily. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg and the yolk until frothy. Sift the remaining cup of flour with the baking powder, baking soda, anise seeds, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Add the honey mixture to the eggs; then add the sifted ingredients. Mix just until blended, then pour the mixture into the loaf pan. Bake until the bread is firm to the touch and has begun to pull away from the sides of the loaf pan, about 45 minutes. Cool IN THE PAN on a wire rack.
