Meanwhile, combine the milk and margarine in a saucepan. Heat until
the margarine has melted. Cool.
Add the lemon rind. Sprinkle the yeast into the milk mixture when
lukewarm. Let stand for 5 minutes to dissolve.
Add the sugar, nutmeg, 2 cups of the flour and the saffron mixture.
Beat until smooth. Stir in the currants (or dark raisins) and
another 1/2 cup of the flour. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in
a warm place until doubled in size. Then punch down and knead on a
lightly-floured board until smooth.
Shape into a loaf and place in an oiled 4- by 9-inch bread pan. Let
rise until doubled. Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 1 hour. Cool
for 10 minutes in the pan before turning out on a wire rack. When the
bread is thoroughly cooled, it may be sliced.
