Oh that is an exciting thought!

Thank you so much :)

the dough is rising as we speak but I just realised that I forgot to add the salt! Is it just me or is that part missing in the method part (its listed in the ingredients list)?

Thank you for a fantastic blog!

I’m happy you liked them!
30€ for 1 gram of saffron!? Here it’s more like 3-4€. Yes we buy it as a powder. You can ground the threads or let them soak for a bit in the liquid to get more flavour and color.

Thank you, David, yes, the buns are delicious! Phew … but brown, not yellow. I used 1 gram of saffron, which costs about 30 Euros in Germany. If I remember right, it’s little bit cheaper in Sweden? In your video the saffron looks like a powder, I only found small filaments, maybe that caused the colour problem? Should I have grounded them?

Best, Claudia

Hi Claudia,

From what I can tell, the recipe is written just like we did it. It doesn’t sound like you have done anything wrong either. No problem if you needed to add a little extra flour. The exact amount of flour is always tricky to predict because different flour types absorb liquid differently. We deliberately kept the flour amount on the lower side as it is easy to add extra flour if needed but hard to do anything about a too compact dough. The dough should be a little bit sticky.
And regarding coconut sugar, yes it is light brown but once mixed with saffron and flour, the dough should turn yellow. Otherwise you might not have used enough saffron?

Hope the buns turn out delicious once baked!
All best,
David
