Comments on: Sweet Saffron Bread http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/10/10/sweet-saffron-bread/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

And now I've made up my mind to finally bake it the next weekend! I’ve been eyeing this recipe for a long time, too..;-)

I used up the rest of my jam on that bread spreading it so thickly and dipping it in the jar :lol: I've never tried fruit cream cheese so I don't really know what it would taste like with it, but I can't see why not?

It looks especially nice with that drippingly sweet condiment you've photographed on top! What would you say about spreading some fruit cream cheese on top like a chunky, but smooth apricot cream cheese? First time I’ve heard of ‘Sweet Saffron Bread’.

I always add nuts, currants etc. at the beginning of kneading, this way they are all over the dough. Thx for your participation in WBD'08. A masterpiece!
