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.

Steps:
- Set the oven at 250°F.
- Put the saffron in a cup and put it in the oven.
- After 5 minutes, pour 1/4 cup of very hot water over it.
- Let it steep for 20 minutes while you get on with the rest of the preparation.
- Put the raisins in a bowl and cover with hot water.
- Set aside.
- Mix the yeast with the milk and 1 teaspoon of the sugar and leave for 10 to 15 minutes in a warm but not hot spot.
- Combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix in the yeast mixture and then the butter.
- When everything is thoroughly combined, add the saffron mixture.
- Drain the raisins and add them.
- Mix and knead thoroughly until the dough is soft but not sticky.
- Roll it into a ball and put it in a greased bowl.
- Cover with a plastic bag and let it rise in a draft-free spot until it has doubled in bulk. This takes about 2 hours.
- Knock the dough down by thumping it firmly several times.
- Knead it for 2 or 3 minutes.
- To make a wreath shape, divide the dough into 3 pieces and roll each into a rope about 18 inches long.
- Braid the 3 ropes together and twist into a circle. (Or make hollows in the wreath so that you can stick candles in them after baking.).
- Tuck the ends underneath.
- Place on a greased baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
- Let rise in a draft-free spot for about an hour or until doubled in bulk.
- During the last 10 minutes of rising time, set the oven at 400°F
- Brush the bread with the egg wash.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the wreath is golden brown and sounds hollow when rapped on the bottom.

- Place half of the warm water (1/4 cup) in the bowl of an electric mixer. Sprinkle in the yeast and stir briefly with a spoon. Add the remaining water and the milk, sugar, butter, salt, saffron; add 1 1/2 cups flour. Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment and mix on low until combined. Add the two eggs and mix again; exchange the paddle attachment for the dough hook. Add flour a little at a time until it forms soft and slightly sticky dough (you may not have to use all of the flour). Set a timer and knead the dough on medium-low speed for 6 minutes. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and turn the dough over once. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour (mine took longer at 1 hour 35 minutes).
- Gently deflate the dough with a fist and place on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle with flour and then roll dough to approximately 13×32. Brush the entire surface of the dough with the melted butter; use all of it. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle over the butter. Scatter the currants on top evenly. Roll the dough up jelly roll style, starting at a long end. When the dough is all rolled up, cut the roll down the center using a sharp knife or a bench scraper. Carefully lift the two pieces of dough to crisscross them in the center. Continue to braid the bread on one end by crossing them over one another; repeat on the other end of the dough pieces. Curl each end of the braid in opposite directions, creating an “S” shape. Lift the assembled pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet by using a cake lifter or a large spatula and your hand. Spray a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray and lightly drape over the loaf. Let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.
- Bake the loaf for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on the bread during the last 10 minutes of baking. If the bread starts to over-brown place a sheet of aluminum foil on top. When done, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool slightly.

- Combine 1 cup hot water, raisins, and currants in a bowl. Cover and let stand 10 minutes or until raisins and currants plump. Drain and set aside.
- Dissolve 1 tablespoon sugar, saffron, and yeast in warm milk in a small bowl; let stand for 5 minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 3 cups flour, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add raisins, currants, yeast mixture, butter, and 1 egg to flour mixture; stir until dough forms.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
- Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 3 times.
