There’s nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked bread filling your kitchen. This Fluffy Condensed Milk Bread is soft, buttery, slightly sweet, and melts in your mouth — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy snack.
🔹️ Ingredients & Why They Matter
✅️ Warm Milk (240 ml / 1 cup): Activates yeast and provides moisture.
✅️ Condensed Milk (75 g / ¼ cup): Adds sweetness, richness, and tender crumb.
✅️ Egg (1 large): Binds ingredients and gives a rich color.
✅️ Sugar (30 g / 2 tbsp): Feeds yeast and enhances flavor.
✅️ Dry Yeast (7 g / 2¼ tsp): Makes the dough rise, creating fluffiness.
✅️ All-Purpose Flour (520 g / 4¼ cups): Provides structure and elasticity.
✅️ Salt (1 tsp): Balances sweetness and enhances taste.
✅️ Butter (50 g / ¼ cup, softened): Adds richness and tenderness.
✅️ Glaze: 45 g (3 tbsp) butter + 45 g (3 tbsp) condensed milk for a shiny, sweet finish.
🔹️ Step-by-Step Instructions
◾️ Step 1: Activate the Yeast
➡️ In a bowl, whisk warm milk, sugar, and condensed milk.
➡️ Add yeast and egg, whisk again until smooth.
👉 Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
◾️ Step 2: Make the Dough
➡️ Combine wet ingredients with flour and salt.
➡️ Knead until roughly combined.
✅️ Gradually add softened butter and knead 10 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
◾️ Step 3: First Rise
➡️ Form the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover.
👉 Let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled.
◾️ Step 4: Shape the Bread
➡️ Cut ⅔ of the dough for the main loaf; reserve ⅓ for smaller buns.
➡️ Roll the large portion into a 25×40 cm rectangle, then roll into a log.
✅️ Cut into equal pieces and place in a greased baking pan.
◾️ Step 5: Second Rise
➡️ Cover and let rise 45–60 minutes until dough puffs.
◾️ Step 6: Bake
➡️ Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
➡️ Brush tops with egg wash.
✅️ Bake for 25–30 minutes (20 for small buns) until golden.
◾️ Step 7: Glaze & Finish
➡️ While warm, brush buns with butter + condensed milk glaze.
👉 Let cool fully before removing from the pan.
🔹️ Pro Tips
◾️ Use warm, not hot milk for perfect yeast activation.
◾️ Knead thoroughly — dough should stretch without tearing (“windowpane test”).
◾️ Let dough rise in a draft-free, warm area.
◾️ Always brush with glaze — it locks in moisture and adds shine.
◾️ Store in airtight container; reheat gently to restore softness.
🔹️ Serving Suggestions
✅️ Toast with butter or honey for breakfast.
✅️ Spread with Nutella or jam for a snack.
✅️ Serve alongside coffee or milk tea.
✅️ Pair with whipped cream cheese for a decadent treat.
