Santa Lucia Saffron Buns (Lussekatter)
In Sweden, Santa Lucia is celebrated on December 13th. During this darkest time of year, the light brought forth from the crown of candles worn by the eldest girl in the family who carries lussekatter and freshly brewed coffee to gently awaken her household with a sweet song is very welcome. Enjoy these delicious saffron buns with coffee, tea, or cocoa throughout the holiday season, or any time of year!
We personalized this recipe by using our Select Bolted Organic Bread Flour and our SAF Instant Yeast ; otherwise the recipe is taken directly from the cookbook Fika; The Art of the Swedish Coffee Break, written by Anna Brones and Johanna Kindvall. Johanna is dear to us, as she is the artist who illustrated the Breadtopia logo as well as the labels for our mixes, and you will find the same style of whimsical illustrations throughout their cookbook.
