Description
This Soft and Fluffy Condensed Milk Bread is ultra-tender with a subtle sweetness and rich flavor from condensed milk. Light, airy, and golden, it’s perfect for breakfast, snacking, or as a comforting treat any time of day.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup warm milk or water (about 110°F)
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, egg, and condensed milk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a rough dough forms.
- Add softened butter and knead for 8–10 minutes until dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
- Form dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled—about 1 to 1½ hours.
- Punch down the dough, divide and shape into a loaf or rolls as desired.
- Place shaped dough into a greased pan or sheet, cover, and let rise for 30–45 minutes until puffed above the rim.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Optional: Brush top with egg wash for a glossy finish.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and internal temp is 190°F (88°C).
- Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- Use bread flour for a chewier, more structured loaf.
- For best flavor and texture, don’t skip the egg or condensed milk.
- Freeze slices with parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
- Add flavor with matcha, chocolate chips, or herbs depending on preference.
- Use a bread machine’s dough cycle for convenience, then bake in the oven.
