Ingredients
✔ 3 cups all-purpose flour
✔ 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
✔ ½ cup warm milk (110°F / 45°C)
✔ ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
✔ ¼ cup granulated sugar
✔ 1 large egg
✔ ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
✔ ½ tsp salt
For Brushing
✔ 1 tbsp melted butter
✔ 1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk (optional, for extra shine)
Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy. This ensures your yeast is active and ready to help the dough rise.
2. Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the condensed milk, egg, and yeast mixture, stirring until combined.
3. Knead the Dough
Add the softened butter and knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
4. First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
5. Shape the Bread
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into small rolls or shape it into a loaf. Place them in a greased baking pan.
6. Second Rise
Cover and let the shaped dough rise for another 30-40 minutes until puffy.
7. Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
8. Brush & Serve
While the bread is still warm, brush the top with melted butter and a little extra condensed milk for a beautiful shine and extra flavor.
