Description
Soft Condensed Milk Bread is a pillowy, sweet bread made with condensed milk for a subtle sweetness and light, airy texture, perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup condensed milk
1/2 cup warm milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing)
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.
