SWEDISH SAFFRON BREAD



Swedish Saffron Bread image

On the morning of Dec. 13, Swedish families recall St. Lucia with saffron buns served by a girl wearing a crown of candles. During the rest of the holiday season, saffron bread is braided into a wreath or simply baked in a pan so it can be easily sliced.

Time 3m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon saffron thread
1/2 cup golden raisin
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 lb unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 egg, beaten with
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Set the oven at 250°F.
  • Put the saffron in a cup and put it in the oven.
  • After 5 minutes, pour 1/4 cup of very hot water over it.
  • Let it steep for 20 minutes while you get on with the rest of the preparation.
  • Put the raisins in a bowl and cover with hot water.
  • Set aside.
  • Mix the yeast with the milk and 1 teaspoon of the sugar and leave for 10 to 15 minutes in a warm but not hot spot.
  • Combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix in the yeast mixture and then the butter.
  • When everything is thoroughly combined, add the saffron mixture.
  • Drain the raisins and add them.
  • Mix and knead thoroughly until the dough is soft but not sticky.
  • Roll it into a ball and put it in a greased bowl.
  • Cover with a plastic bag and let it rise in a draft-free spot until it has doubled in bulk. This takes about 2 hours.
  • Knock the dough down by thumping it firmly several times.
  • Knead it for 2 or 3 minutes.
  • To make a wreath shape, divide the dough into 3 pieces and roll each into a rope about 18 inches long.
  • Braid the 3 ropes together and twist into a circle. (Or make hollows in the wreath so that you can stick candles in them after baking.).
  • Tuck the ends underneath.
  • Place on a greased baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Let rise in a draft-free spot for about an hour or until doubled in bulk.
  • During the last 10 minutes of rising time, set the oven at 400°F
  • Brush the bread with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the wreath is golden brown and sounds hollow when rapped on the bottom.

Time 1h55m

Yield 35

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ⅛ cups milk
½ cup butter
3 (0.6 ounce) cakes compressed fresh yeast
8 ounces quark or sour cream
2 (.5 gram) packets powdered saffron
⅔ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
7 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup raisins
1 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan until the butter has melted and the temperature has reached 100 degrees F (38 degrees C). Crumble the yeast into a bowl, then pour in the warm milk. Stir well until the yeast dissolves.
  • Stir in the quark, saffron, sugar, salt, and 7 cups of the flour. Mix the dough in the bowl until it becomes shiny and silky, adding more flour as needed until it begins to come away from the sides of the bowl. Cover, and let rise for 40 minutes.
  • Prepare 2 or 3 baking sheets by covering each with a sheet of parchment paper. Lightly flour a work surface, punch down the dough, then divide into 35 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, 5 to 6 inches long. With the rope lying flat on the work surface, roll each end towards the center, in opposite directions, creating a curled S-shape. Place the buns on the prepared baking sheets, and garnish with raisins if desired. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise for an additional 30 minutes while you preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Gently brush each bun with beaten egg, then bake in the oven until puffed and golden, 5 to 10 minutes.

  • Combine 1 cup hot water, raisins, and currants in a bowl. Cover and let stand 10 minutes or until raisins and currants plump. Drain and set aside.
  • Dissolve 1 tablespoon sugar, saffron, and yeast in warm milk in a small bowl; let stand for 5 minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 3 cups flour, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add raisins, currants, yeast mixture, butter, and 1 egg to flour mixture; stir until dough forms.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
  • Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 3 times.
