How to make

Butter and place baking paper in a round cake form with diameter of 8″ (20 cm). Place 3 1/3 tbsp (50 g) of flour in a bowl. Mix the butter with the remaining flour. Add the blackcurrants, lemon zest, 1/3 cup (75 grams) of sugar and salt. Stir the yeast mixture into a foam with the remaining flour, 1 tsp sugar and 4/5 cup (200 ml) of hot water.

Put the saffron in a cup with 2 tablespoons of boiling water. Add yeast to the flour, along with the saffron, water and egg. Mix up a dough and knead it for 5-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.

Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour to double its volume. Preheat the oven to 360°F (180 °C). Knead the dough again and place it in the prepared form. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, until it rises well. Remove and let it cool on a cooking grid.
