Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
- 1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 egg
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- Optional for topping:
- Egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp milk)
- Extra sweetened condensed milk for drizzling
- Granulated sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, mix warm milk and yeast. Let it sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
-
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Stir in condensed milk, egg, and the yeast mixture to form a sticky dough.
-
Knead by hand or mixer for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
-
Add softened butter and knead again until fully incorporated and elastic.
-
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled.
-
Punch down dough and shape into a loaf or rolls. Place in a greased pan or tray.
-
Let rise again for 30–40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Brush with egg wash or milk and bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Sticky dough is normal—avoid over-flouring to keep the bread soft.
- Shape into pull-apart rolls or braid for a decorative variation.
- Add fillings like cinnamon sugar or jam for a sweet twist.
- Drizzle with extra condensed milk after baking for a dessert-like finish.
