Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the condensed milk, warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough starts to form.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Once risen, punch down the dough and shape into a loaf or divide into smaller rolls.
Place shaped dough into a greased loaf pan or onto a baking sheet, cover, and let rise another 30 minutes.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

Variations include adding raisins or chopped nuts for extra texture.

Brush top with melted butter after baking for a shiny, soft crust.

Swap vanilla extract with almond extract for a different aroma.

Use whole milk instead of warm milk for richer flavor.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Reheat slices in toaster or oven to restore softness.

Egg can be replaced with a flax egg or omitted, but texture will be less tender.

For dinner rolls, divide dough into smaller balls and bake 15-18 minutes.
