Fluffy Condensed Milk Bread
Prep time: 20 mins (+2 hours rising) | Bake time: 25-30 mins | Yield: 1 Large Loaf
Ingredients
The Dough:
-
3 ½ cups (450g) all-purpose flour
-
½ cup (120ml) warm milk
-
1/3 cup (80g) sweetened condensed milk
-
1 large egg
-
4 tbsp (55g) unsalted butter, softened
-
2 tsp instant yeast
-
½ tsp salt
The Glaze:
-
2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
-
2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
-
Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, whisk together the warm milk, instant yeast, and a tablespoon of the condensed milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
-
Make the Dough: In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the flour, salt, the rest of the condensed milk, and the egg. Pour in the yeast mixture and knead until a shaggy dough forms.
-
Knead in Butter: Add the softened butter one tablespoon at a time, kneading continuously for about 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
-
First Rise: Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 1–1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
-
Shape: Punch down the dough. Divide it into equal portions and roll them into small balls or flatten and roll into cylinders. Arrange them side-by-side in a greased loaf pan.
-
Second Rise: Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until the dough reaches the top of the pan.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown.
-
Glaze: While hot, whisk the glaze ingredients together and brush generously over the top of the bread to give it a signature shine and extra sweetness.
