Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/16 to 1/8 teaspoon crushed saffron or 2 or 3 drops yellow food color
1/2 cup warm milk (105°F to 115°F)
2 packages regular or fast-acting dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
4 1/2 to 5 cups Gold Medal™ Better for Bread™ bread flour or Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped citron or lemon peel
1/4 cup chopped blanched almonds
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons milk or water
Green and red candied cherries

Steps:

  • Stir saffron into warm milk. In large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in saffron-milk mixture, granulated sugar, salt, eggs, butter and 2 1/2 cups of the flour. Beat with spoon until smooth. Stir in citron, almonds, lemon peel and enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead about 10 minutes or until smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 hour 30 minutes or until double in size. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
  • Grease 2 cookie sheets with shortening or cooking spray. Gently push fist into dough to deflate. Cut off one-third of dough for top braid and reserve. Divide remaining dough into 3 equal parts; roll each part into 25-inch rope. Place ropes close together on cookie sheet. Braid ropes loosely; shape into circle and pinch ends to seal.
  • Divide reserved dough into 3 equal parts; roll each part into 16-inch rope. Place ropes close together on second cookie sheet. Braid ropes loosely; shape into circle and pinch ends to seal. Cover both braids; let rise in warm place about 45 minutes or until double in size.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • In small bowl, mix glaze ingredients with spoon until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over both braids. Make holes for 5 candles in small braid. Place small braid on large braid. Garnish with cherries. Insert candles.

LUCIA CROWN (BRAIDED SWEDISH SAFFRON BREAD) - SPRINKLE …

From sprinklebakes.com
  • Place half of the warm water (1/4 cup) in the bowl of an electric mixer. Sprinkle in the yeast and stir briefly with a spoon. Add the remaining water and the milk, sugar, butter, salt, saffron; add 1 1/2 cups flour along with optional lecithin granules, if using. Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment and mix on low until combined. Add the two eggs and mix again; exchange the paddle attachment for the dough hook. Add flour a little at a time until it forms a soft and slightly sticky dough (you may not have to use all of the flour). Set a timer and knead the dough on medium-low speed for 6 minutes. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and turn the dough over once. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour (mine took longer at 1 hour 35 minutes).
  • Gently deflate the dough with a fist and place on a lightly floured surface. Divide into three equal portions. Roll each portion into a 36-inch long rope. To braid, place all three ropes parallel to each other; begin in the center and braid one end. Move to the other side and braid the other end. Cut the messy ends of the braid away with a knife or bench scraper. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place one end of the braid in the center of the sheet and coil the braid around itself until you have an 11-inch (approximate) round loaf. Spray a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray and lightly drape over the loaf. Let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour. Brush the loaf with egg wash using a pastry brush and sprinkle on the Swedish pearl sugar.
  • Bake the loaf for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on the bread during the last 10 minutes of baking. If the bread starts to over-brown place a sheet of aluminum foil on top. When done, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool slightly. Cut into slices using a serrate knife. Enjoy warm with salted butter or lingonberry jam.
