Saffron is the world’s most expensive spice – 225,000 crocus stigmas
are needed to make a single pound! The texture and flavor of this
light and fluffy loaf will convince you it’s worth it. This is bread
for a special occasion – or bread that will make any occasion
special. The distinctive old world flavor works majic with seafood
and hearty soups like lentil or sausage.
Success Hints
————-
If using saffron threads, grind to a coarse powder-like consistency
using a mortar and pestle. The fresh powder will be more potent than
the pre-ground so you’ll need less.
Once opened, the intensity of a vial of saffron will diminish.
Use regular or rapid bake cycle.
