Preheat the oven to 180° C. Grease a baking dish. In a small pot over medium heat, heat the water with the piloncillo, cinnamon, and anise. Let it come to a boil and cook for 10 minutes or until it becomes a thick syrup. Set aside. In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and fry each slice of bread until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Dip each slice of bread in the syrup and form layers in the baking dish, placing raisins, peanuts, amaranth, and cheese between the layers. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and serve.
