This recipe delivers bakery-style soft and fluffy bread using sweetened condensed milk for a rich flavor and tender crumb. It is a simple, reliable recipe perfect for beginners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 105-115°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for slight extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: Add the sweetened condensed milk, egg, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Whisk until combined.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and optional sugar.
  4. Form the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. It will feel soft.
  6. First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Shape the loaf: Gently punch down the risen dough. Shape it into a log and place it into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  8. Second rise: Cover the loaf pan loosely and let the dough rise again in a warm spot for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the dough has crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan.
  9. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  10. Cool: Remove the bread from the pan immediately after baking and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to maintain the tender crumb structure.

Notes

  • For the softest texture, ensure your milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Using room temperature eggs helps the dough mix more evenly.
  • This bread freezes well once completely cooled; slice before freezing for easy portions.
  • If you prefer rolls instead of a loaf, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and bake them close together in a 9×13 inch pan.
