Ingredients
-
3 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons instant yeast
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
-
1/2 cup warm milk
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
-
1 large egg
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
1 tablespoon water or milk (for brushing)
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir well and let it rest for about 5–7 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
-
Add the condensed milk, egg, and softened butter into the yeast mixture. Mix well until fully combined. Gradually add flour and salt to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for about 10–12 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
-
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Divide it into equal portions, roll them into balls, and place them in a greased loaf pan or baking tray. Cover again and let rise for another 30–40 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the top of the dough with milk or water to achieve a golden crust.
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes until the bread turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter for a glossy finish. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

-
Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate yeast effectively.

Cover the dough properly during rising to prevent it from drying.

For a sweeter flavor, drizzle more condensed milk on top before baking.
