Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- 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.
- Knead: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Brush and Serve: For extra richness, brush with melted butter while warm. Let cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
- 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!
