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
Directions
Step 1
Heat the 1.25 cups of water in a small saucepan or microwave until warm (approximately 110°F or 45°C).
Step 2
Add the saffron threads to the warm water and let them steep for 5 minutes, allowing the color and flavor to infuse.
Step 3
Pour the saffron-infused water into the bread machine pan.
Step 4
Add salt, sugar, and unsalted butter to the bread machine pan, ensuring the ingredients are spread evenly.
Step 5
Measure and add the bread flour, carefully leveling off the top of the measuring cup to ensure accuracy.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Start the bread machine and let it mix, knead, and bake the saffron bread according to the machine's program.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
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.
