Instructions: 1. Place the saffron in a heatproof cup and pour on the boiling water. Leave to stand and infuse the saffron until lukewarm.

2. Place the flour, salt, yeast and olive oil in a food processor or blender.

Gradually add the saffron and its liquid until the dough forms a ball.

3. Turn out on to a floured board and knead for 10 - 15 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover and leave to rise for about 30 - 40 minutes until doubled in size.

4. Punch down the risen dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out into an oval shape, 1/2 in thick. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and leave to rise for 20 - 30 minutes.

5. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Use your fingers to press small indentations over the surface.

6. Cover with the topping ingredients, brush lightly with olive oil, and bake for about 25 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Leave to cool.
