White Loaf Bread

Sieve the flour into a large bowl and mix in the salt.

Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm whole milk, add the sugar and saffron, and mix well.

Pour the yeast-milk into the flour and mix everything into a dough.

Knead the dough vigorously on a floured work surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Grease a loaf pan (approx. 25 cm) and place the dough into the pan.

Cover the pan and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven: fan 170 °C (conventional 190 °C).

Score the dough lengthwise about 1 cm deep and brush the surface with lukewarm water.

Bake the bread for 60–70 minutes, then remove it from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
