Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Stand mixer with dough hook (optional)
- Loaf pan
- Oven
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- ½ cup warm milk (100°F/38°C)
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- ½ tsp salt
- Extra butter for brushing
Instructions
- Activate Yeast: Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until foamy.
- Make Dough: Add flour, condensed milk, egg, butter, and salt. Knead until smooth and elastic (10 minutes by hand or 5–6 minutes in mixer).
- First Proof: Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Shape: Punch down dough, shape into loaf or rolls, and place in greased pan.
- Second Proof: Let rise again for 30–40 minutes.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden.
- Finish: Brush with melted butter for shine. Cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
- Proof properly: ensures fluffy texture.
- Warm milk: not too hot or cold, ideal for yeast activation.
- Knead well: smooth, elastic dough = soft crumb.
- Butter brushing: adds shine and keeps crust tender.
- Variations: shape into rolls, add fillings (custard, chocolate, fruit), or make savory with cheese/herbs.
