This recipe yields an incredibly soft and slightly sweet bread loaf using sweetened condensed milk for a rich flavor and tender crumb. It is easy to make for beginners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed to 105-115°F
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the warm milk and yeast in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, egg, and melted butter into the yeast mixture.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes, adding the remaining flour as needed until the dough is smooth and elastic. It should be soft but not sticky.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Gently punch down the risen dough. Shape it into a log and place it into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  8. Cover the pan loosely and let the dough rise again for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it has crowned about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) during the last 15 minutes of the second rise.
  10. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  11. Remove the bread from the pan immediately and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • For rolls, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces after the first rise, shape into balls, and place them close together in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Adjust baking time to 20-25 minutes.
  • If you prefer a shinier crust, brush the top of the loaf with a little extra condensed milk mixed with a teaspoon of water before baking.
  • Room temperature ingredients mix better, so plan ahead for your egg and milk.
