Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Saffron threads
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3.25 cups Bread flour
- 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Heat the 1.25 cups of water in a small saucepan or microwave until warm (approximately 110°F or 45°C).
Add the saffron threads to the warm water and let them steep for 5 minutes, allowing the color and flavor to infuse.
Pour the saffron-infused water into the bread machine pan.
Add salt, sugar, and unsalted butter to the bread machine pan, ensuring the ingredients are spread evenly.
Measure and add the bread flour, carefully leveling off the top of the measuring cup to ensure accuracy.
Create a well in the center of the flour with your finger or a spoon and add the active dry yeast. This prevents the yeast from activating prematurely.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and select the Basic White Bread cycle (or equivalent). Use the medium crust setting if your machine allows this option.
Start the bread machine and let it mix, knead, and bake the saffron bread according to the machine's program.
Once the cycle is complete and the bread is baked, carefully remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
