Steps:
- Whisk together the semolina flour, ¾ cups all purpose flour, yeast and salt.
- Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the molasses and water. Mix with your hands until a dough forms. (It should be a bit sticky, add a bit of all purpose flour if necessary to be able to work the dough).
- Place dough in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside for about 30 minutes to an hour until the dough doubles in size.
- Add the remaining ½ cup of all purpose flour and knead into the dough. Knead for about ten minutes and then shape the loaf and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Cover with a damp cloth and allow the loaf to proof for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC).
- Uncover the loaf and cut three slits into the top of the loaf. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Lower oven temperature to 375ºF (190ºC) and continue to bake for another 15 minutes.
- The loaf will be done when golden brown and when it sounds hollow when knocked on the bottom.
- Remove and cool on a cooling rack.

Steps:
- Crush the saffron and mix it in 1 teaspoon of boiling water, set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the 1/2 cup warm water, the yeast, and sugar. Let stand about 5 minutes or until frothy.
- Stir in the 1 cup water and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil saffron mix. Add 2 cups of the bread flour, the 1-2/3 cups semolina flour, the turmeric, caraway seed and salt. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining bread flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Shape dough into a ball. Grease a large bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place dough in greased bowl; turn once to grease surface of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size (about 1 hour).
- Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; sprinkle parchment with the 1 tablespoon semolina flour. Set aside. Shape each dough half into a 6-inch round loaf. Place dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (about 30 minutes).
- Adjust one oven rack to the lowest position and another oven rack to the lower-middle position. Set a shallow baking pan on the bottom rack. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Using a sharp knife, cut an X into the top of each loaf. Place baking sheet with dough rounds on the middle rack. Place the ice cubes in the shallow baking pan on the lower (as they melt, they'll create steam, which helps the dough rise and develop a crisp crust). Bake rounds about 25 minutes or until deep golden and rounds sound hollow when tapped. If necessary to prevent overbrowning, cover rounds with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Transfer to a wire rack; cool completely.
PERSIAN HALVA
Halva is a favorite dessert throughout the Middle East. Many varieties are made with tahini or semolina flour. This Persian version uses a simple mixture of flour, butter, and sugar with the sweet perfume of rosewater. Cut into wedges and serve with tea or coffee.

SAFFRON BREAD
This is one of those recipes you will either love or hate. We make this bread every year at Christmas time, and it never lasts very long!! We love it warm with butter or peanut butter. This recipe makes a lot of bread, and I am not sure what would happen if you tried to halve the recipe.

SWEDISH SAFFRON BREAD
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.
