Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F)
- 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough
- In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy, ensuring the yeast is activated.
- Mix the Ingredients
- Add the condensed milk, egg, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Bread
- Punch down the dough and divide it into portions. Shape into rolls or place the entire dough into a loaf pan.
- Second Rise
- Let the shaped dough rest for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake to Perfection
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Brush with butter for a glossy finish.
Notes
- Use warm milk (about 110°F) to properly activate the yeast.
- Knead the dough thoroughly to ensure a soft, elastic texture.
- Be patient with the rise time—rushing it can result in dense bread.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond milk and use coconut condensed milk.
