Soft Condensed Milk Bread: A Pillowy, Sweet Delight – Page 2

Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast:

In a small bowl, combine warm milk (about 110°F/43°C) and instant yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

2. Make the Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar.
Add the egg, condensed milk, and yeast mixture. Mix until the dough starts coming together.
Add softened butter and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead on medium speed for about 5-6 minutes.

3. First Rise:

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel.
Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

4. Shape the Bread:

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions (for a loaf, 4 equal pieces; for rolls, 8-10 small balls).
Shape each piece into a smooth ball or roll and place it into a greased baking pan.

5. Second Rise:

Cover and let the dough rise again for 30-45 minutes, until it puffs up beautifully.

6. Bake the Bread:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush the dough with the egg wash to give it a golden color.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

7. Add the Final Touch (Optional):

While the bread is still warm, mix melted butter with condensed milk and brush over the top for a glossy, sweet finish.
