My Experience with Sweet Condensed Milk Bread

The first time I made this bread, I was drawn in by its simplicity and rich flavor. I’ve always loved the slightly sweet taste of Hawaiian rolls, and this bread reminded me of them—but even better! The addition of sweetened condensed milk gives it a beautifully soft texture and just the right touch of sweetness. I tested different amounts of milk and yeast, and trust me, this version is just right. It’s easy to make, bakes up beautifully, and tastes even better the next day!

How to Make Sweet Condensed Milk Bread

Find the full recipe with measurements in the recipe card below.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour for extra fluffiness)
• 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Extra butter for brushing (optional)

Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, condensed milk, egg, and butter. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
5. Shape and Second Rise: Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf or rolls. Place in a greased pan and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Brush and Serve: For extra richness, brush with melted butter while warm. Let cool slightly before slicing.

Baking Tips for the Best Bread

• Use warm milk (not hot!) – Too hot will kill the yeast, too cold won’t activate it properly.
• Knead thoroughly – This develops the gluten, making the bread soft and fluffy.
• Let it rise fully – Don’t rush the process; a good rise is key for texture.
• Try different shapes – Make a classic loaf, dinner rolls, or even mini sandwich buns!

What to Serve with Sweet Condensed Milk Bread

This bread is delicious on its own, but you can also enjoy it:

• Toasted with butter and jam for a simple breakfast
• As French toast – Its slightly sweet flavor makes it perfect!
• With Nutella or peanut butter for a tasty snack
• As a sandwich base – Try it with ham, cheese, or even a sweet spread!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes! If using instant yeast, you can skip the activation step and mix it directly with the dry ingredients.

Can I make this bread dairy-free?
You can substitute the condensed milk with coconut condensed milk and use a plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.

How do I store leftover bread?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Can I make this in a bread machine?
Yes! Add the wet ingredients first, then the dry, and use the dough cycle before shaping and baking.
