My friend showed me this recipe. It has such a floral, delicate taste! The only thing I changed from her recipe was using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. My favorite bread recipe! Best served with unsalted butter and fresh honey.

Time 1h15m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 ½ cups bread flour
1 cup 2% milk
2 eggs
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch Iranian saffron
¾ cup raisins

Steps:

Place bread flour, milk, eggs, sugar, butter, yeast, salt, and saffron in a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Program the bread machine for the dough cycle; press "Start." Mix raisins into the dough by hand after the cycle is complete.
Divide dough into 9 pieces. Roll each piece into a log 6 to 7 inches long. Pinch the ends of 3 logs together and form a 3-strand braid. Pinch ends together at the bottom of the braid. Repeat with remaining logs to make 2 more braided loaves.
Transfer loaves to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, placing them several inches apart. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven until loaves are a light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

Use good quality saffron. The better the quality of saffron, the more flavorful your tea bread will be. Look for saffron that is a deep red color and has a strong aroma.
Toast the saffron before using it. Toasting the saffron will help to release its flavor and aroma. To do this, heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the saffron. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the saffron is fragrant and slightly browned.
Use a combination of flours. Using a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour will give your tea bread a more complex flavor and texture. If you don't have whole wheat flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your tea bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Let the tea bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Saffron tea bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist and flavorful, with a beautiful golden color. The saffron gives the bread a unique and exotic flavor that is sure to please everyone. If you are looking for a new and exciting bread to try, I highly recommend saffron tea bread.
