Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 2 eggs, beaten

Equipment

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and saffron. Mix well.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and water until warm. Add the melted butter and beaten eggs.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment and knead for 5-7 minutes. If kneading by hand, knead for 10 minutes.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and knead for a few minutes. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased bread pan.
  6. Cover the bread pan with a damp towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Recipe FAQs

What is saffron?

Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of the Crocus sativus plant. It is known for its unique flavor and aroma, as well as its bright yellow color.

Can I use a different type of flour?

Yes, you can use whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend for this recipe. However, the texture and flavor of the bread may be slightly different.

Can I freeze saffron sweet bread?

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your yeast is fresh and active. If it's not, your bread won't rise properly.
  • Use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature of your milk and water. It should be warm, but not hot (between 105-110°F).
  • Don't over-knead the dough, as this can make the bread tough and chewy.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid squishing it.
