I have wanted to learn how to bake. So I am experimenting a bit. I have always dreamed of making saffron bread and rolls. It turned out most desirable. The bread loaf is flat like I was hoping it would be. The rolls turned out just as big as I hoped for also. The saffron flavor is there, everything is good!!!
