That’s a beautiful idea—saffron and honey together feel like a sunrise in a loaf. I once baked a loaf with a pinch of saffron, a swirl of honey, and a little lemon zest, then wrapped it in a towel while it cooled. The steam carried a floral whisper that made my guests think the whole kitchen was a garden. If you try it, keep the lid off just a bit longer so the steam can do its sweet trick. I’d love to hear how yours turns out!

That orange zest will give it a bright, almost citrus‑scented sunrise—like the kitchen is opening its windows to a warm breeze. Keep the dough resting a little after the zest in, so the oils mingle, and watch the steam rise like a soft lullaby. I’ll be sure to send you a photo of the golden crust once it’s finished. Let’s toast to fragrant loaves and stories that rise together!
