Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pinch saffron thread
100 g butter
100 g caster sugar
100 g golden sultana raisins
50 g chopped glace cherries
280 g plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • put the saffron in a jug and pour in 230 ml of hot water.
  • leave to infuse for at least 20 minutes.
  • put the butter and sugar in a large saucepan and stir over a moderate heat.
  • When the butter has melted and mixed with the sugar, add the sultanas and cherries.
  • pour in the saffron water.
  • return to heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  • leave to cool.
  • preheat over to 180c/gas 4.
  • grease and line a 500gr loaf tin.
  • stir in the flour/salt and baking powder and slowly stir into saffron mixture to form a batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for between 1 and 1 and quarter hours, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  • leave to cool on a rack.
  • serve in slices with butter.
  • I have a 1 KG tin, so just use double the mixture and bake longer

This bread is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The saffron gives it a unique and delicious flavor.

I've made this bread several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up leftover saffron.

This bread was a disaster! It never rose properly and the texture was terrible. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. The instructions weren't very clear and I ended up with a loaf that was too dense.

This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it! I'll try reducing the sugar next time.

Loved the saffron flavor in this bread! It was a bit more dense than I expected, but still very good.

This tea bread was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the unique flavor and the beautiful golden color. I'll definitely be making it again.

Easy to make and turned out great! I didn't have any saffron on hand so I used a pinch of turmeric instead. The flavor was still delicious, although I imagine it would have been even better with saffron.

Just made this bread and it's so good! The saffron gives it a delicate flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the glaze. I'm already planning on making it again for my next brunch.

Followed the recipe exactly and the bread came out perfectly! The saffron gave it a lovely color, and the flavor was amazing. Served it with some clotted cream and it was a hit! Definitely going to be a regular in my baking rotation.

This was my first time baking with saffron. The bread turned out fragrant and delicious! The saffron flavor was subtle but noticeable, and the bread was moist and fluffy. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

I was a bit skeptical about the saffron flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised! It was a nice change from the usual banana or chocolate bread. The recipe was easy to follow and the bread turned out perfect. I'll be making this again for sure.

This saffron tea bread was a delight! The saffron gave it a beautiful golden color and a subtle, unique flavor. The bread itself was moist and fluffy, and the glaze added a touch of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again!
