• ✓ saffron
• milk
• white sugar
• butter
• salt
• active dry yeast
• water
• all-purpose flour
• egg
• egg yolk
• water
• raisin

Instructions

1. 1 Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat just until bubbles form around the edge of the pan, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add sugar, butter, salt, and saffron, stirring until butter is melted. Let cool to lukewarm temperature, about 2 minutes.
2. 2 Sprinkle yeast over warm water in large bowl, stirring until dissolved. Stir in milk mixture and 3 1/2 cups flour until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in eggs. Add remaining flour gradually, mixing in the last by hand until dough leaves the sides of the bowl and is very soft.
3. 3 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover with a bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
4. 4 Knead dough with additional flour as needed, about 5 minutes. Place dough in a lightly greased large bowl; flip dough to grease both sides. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
6. 6 Punch down dough. Take golf ball-sized bits of dough and roll out into snakes. Roll each end in opposite directions to create 'S' forms. Place buns on the prepared baking sheets.
7. 7 Combine egg yolk and water in a bowl with a whisk. Brush over buns.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven, leaving oven on. Quickly place 1 raisin in the center of each 'S' curve.
9. 9 Return to the oven and continue to bake until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Ingredients

• ✓ saffron
• milk
• butter
• fresh yeast
• quark
• sour cream
• sugar
• salt
• all-purpose flour
• raisin
• egg

Instructions

1. 1 Heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan until the butter has melted and the temperature has reached 100 degrees F (38 degrees C). Crumble the yeast into a bowl, then pour in the warm milk. Stir well until the yeast dissolves.
2. 2 Stir in the quark, saffron, sugar, salt, and 7 cups of the flour. Mix the dough in the bowl until it becomes shiny and silky, adding more flour as needed until it begins to come away from the sides of the bowl. Cover, and let rise for 40 minutes.
3. 3 Prepare 2 or 3 baking sheets by covering each with a sheet of parchment paper. Lightly flour a work surface, punch down the dough, then divide into 35 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, 5 to 6 inches long. With the rope lying flat on the work surface, roll each end towards the center, in opposite directions, creating a curled S-shape. Place the buns on the prepared baking sheets, and garnish with raisins if desired. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise for an additional 30 minutes while you preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
4. 4 Gently brush each bun with beaten egg, then bake in the oven until puffed and golden, 5 to 10 minutes.

• carrot
• artichoke heart
• green bean
• onion
• salt
• black pepper
• tomato
• spaghetti

Instructions

1. 1 Combine the chicken stock, garlic, and saffron in a saucepan. Warm until hot, but not too hot to put your finger in. Cover, and keep warm over low heat so the saffron can infuse while you continue with the recipe.
2. 2 Cook and stir the diced pancetta in a cast iron skillet over medium heat until most of the fat has rendered out and the pancetta has cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 10 minutes. Once done, remove the pancetta and set aside.
3. 3 Discard the grease and pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook and stir the carrots, artichoke hearts, and green beans until the vegetables begin to soften, then remove from the pan and set aside. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet, and stir in the onion. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the onion has softened, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and cook until the tomato-onion mixture is practically a paste, 15 to 20 minutes.
4. 4 Spread the onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet, and sprinkle evenly with the broken spaghetti pieces. Pour in enough saffron broth to cover the noodles, then arrange the pancetta and cooked vegetables over top. Add additional saffron broth as needed to cover the vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the noodles are tender, about 15 minutes.

• paprika
• water
• salt
• thyme
• rosemary

• salt
• smoked sausage
• sweet onion
• red bell pepper
• garlic
• medium-grain white rice
• paprika
• turmeric
• cayenne pepper
• sherry
• chicken broth
• tomato
• pea

Instructions

1. 1 Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Sauté function. Add olive oil to the pot and heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
2. 2 Season chicken thighs with salt. Place chicken, skin-side down, in the hot oil. Cook until skin is golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath several times to prevent skin from sticking to the pot. Turn and cook until other side is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove chicken thighs to a plate.
3. 3 Add sausage, onion, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice, paprika, turmeric, cayenne, and saffron. Stir constantly until spices are aromatic and rice becomes translucent and shiny.
4. 4 Pour in sherry and cook until absorbed, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Turn off Sauté setting and place chicken thighs over rice. Turn the pressure regulator to the sealing position; select Manual and set cooking time for 12 minutes at high pressure. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
5. 5 Release pressure using the natural-release method for 10 minutes according to manufacturer's instructions. Turn the pressure regulator to 'venting' and release remaining pressure. Remove the lid, transfer chicken thighs to a clean plate, and pour in tomatoes and peas. Mix well.
6. 6 Switch to Sauté mode and cook until liquid is mostly evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Top each serving of rice with a chicken thigh.

8. 8 Form dough into a ball and place into an oiled bowl; turn in the bowl several times until coated with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
9. 9 Coat the insides of four clean 14-ounce cans with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Line cans with parchment paper.
10. 10 Punch down dough, knead a few times, then divide into four equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a ball, place into a can, and press dough lightly against the inside bottom of the can. Cover the cans with a cloth and let dough rise to the top of the cans, about 45 minutes.

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2 Combine mayonnaise, lemon peel, garlic, lemon brine, cayenne pepper, and saffron in a mini food processor; blend until smooth, scraping down sides once or twice. Refrigerate aioli until ready to use.
3. 3 Place egg whites into a dish or bowl. Place dukkah into a second dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg whites, letting excess drip off, then coat with dukkah. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
