These saffron bread knots are made by plaiting together 4 strands of a soft, sweet enriched saffron dough - sprinkle the top with a mixture of white and black sesame seeds if desired. Saffron gives the knots a beautiful warm golden colour as well as a wonderful intense flavour and scent. I have used 0.3 g rams of saffron for the dough, which is a bit too much, 1 small sachet (0.1 gram) would be enough. I didn't fill the dough, but you can try to fill with nutella or nut cream for an even richer bread.

- In the evening, dissolve the dried yeast in 100 g of water directly in the mixing bowl of your mixer. Add white and whole spelt flours and mix well with the spoon. Cover and leave to ferment overnight at room temperature.
- The next day, the poolish should have many small bubbles. Add the milk and dried yeast to the poolish starter. Mix everything briefly. Add the flours, saffron and salt. Mix on the lowest speed for 5 minutes. Increase the speed and knead for another 5 minutes. Add the softened butter in pieces and knead for another 5 minutes until you have a soft, rather firm but still elastic dough.
- Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours until the dough has noticeably increased in volume.
- Divide the dough into 4 even portions, each about 215 grams. Shape each portion of the dough into a ball by folding it from the outside towards the inside and pressing it in slightly. Carefully roll into a small log. Repeat with another 3 portions of dough. Cover the logs and let them relax for about 10 minutes.
- Now roll each log into a strand with both hands, about 50cm. Don't use extra flour. The dough is easy to work with and you don't need any extra flour at all.
- Use two strands to make a cross and braid 4 strands together, invert, then roll it into a ball. (See tutorial) Place it on a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat with another two strands. Brush the knots with beaten egg and leave it to rise for 45-60 minutes at a warm place.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Now brush the braided knots one more time with the egg and sprinkle some sesame seeds over if using. Bake in the middle of hot oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Lovely colour
Rico pan , gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
Saffron is liquid gold. I love how this looks! You are a great chef!
Angie; visitar tu página es siempre descubrir un mundo nuevo para mí en lo que a gastronomía se refiere.
Me encanta hacer pan casero. Por consiguiente esta propuesta la tomo al pie de la letra y procuraré encontrar harina de espelta ya que nunca la he usado.
Leo que posee propiedades nutricionales mejores que el trigo común y es más saludable.
Gracias por tu generosa entrega.
Siempre es grato llegar aquí.
Un abrazo.
Lovely, dark colour which is nice for the inside, different.
Those are beautiful buns! I will admit I had never heard of poolish before seeing this recipes.
Todo tipo de pan me gusta, pero no me he puesto a ello nunca, es mi asignatura pendiente. Cuando veo los que haces se me van los ojos, el de hoy es una maravilla, vistoso y muy rico, estoy segura.
Un beso.

have a great day
I'm such a bread addict. Bet I would LOVE this!
I have never come across Poolish dough before, so spent a few minutes checking that one out.
Saffron bread is a speciality of Cornwall, right down in the southwest of the UK and is always one of my first 'wishes' when we drive down for a visit.
Let's face it though, I am just a bread junkie, so your posts on the subject will always get the thumbs up from me! :)
What a beautiful bread, Angie. Fluffy and Aromatiche.
Best bread baker! They are gorgeous.
oh angie you've surpassed yourself again. how wonderful do these look!!
How beautiful the plaiting/braiding turn out, and definitely, loving the saffron for flavor and scent.
Work of art, with the warm mustard color from the saffron. Bet the whole home will smell so nice when baking this bread.
What a beautiful bread, Angie. Fluffy and Aromatiche. best saffron brand
