What You’ll Need:

• Ingredients:
  • 240ml warm milk
  • 75g condensed milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 30g sugar
  • 7g dry yeast
  • 520g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 50g butter, softened
  • 45g condensed milk (for egg wash, optional)
• Tools:
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Stand mixer (optional)
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Plastic wrap
  • Pastry brush (optional)

Let’s Get Baking!

1. Activate the Yeast: In your large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm milk, 75g of condensed milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Let this mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy and bubbly. This signifies that the yeast is activated and ready to work its magic!

2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together your flour and salt.

3. Mix it Up! Pour the wet ingredients (yeast mixture) into the dry ingredients. Using a dough hook attachment on your stand mixer (or by hand), mix everything together until a soft dough forms.

4. Knead to Know Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the dough becomes smooth and elastic, bouncing back slightly when you poke it.

5. First Rise: Place your kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and find a warm spot for it to rise. Let it sit for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

6. Shape Up! Punch down the risen dough to release the air bubbles. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape them into loaves or rolls, depending on your preference.

7. Second Rise: Place your shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easier clean-up) or directly on the baking sheet. Cover them loosely again and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.

8. Preheat Party: While your dough takes its final rise, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

9. Egg Wash (Optional): For an extra golden brown sheen, whisk together the remaining 45g of condensed milk and brush it gently over the tops of your risen dough shapes.

10. Bake to Perfection: Pop your bread into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

11. Cooling Down: Take your beautiful bread out of the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This prevents the insides from becoming soggy.

Now comes the best part… Enjoy!

This Fluffy Condensed Milk Bread is perfect for toasting, sandwiches, or simply savoring on its own. The sweetness from the condensed milk adds a delightful touch, making it a crowd-pleaser for breakfast, snacks, or even delightful tea parties.

Tips & Tricks:

• For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
• Want to add some pizazz? Sprinkle chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruits onto the dough before the second rise.
• This bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
• Freeze leftover bread slices for longer storage and toast them straight from frozen for a quick and yummy treat.
