Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Dough scraper
  • Stand mixer (optional)
  • Rolling Pin
  • Loaf pan (or baking sheet)
  • Plastic wrap or a damp towel
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients
  

For the Dough:

  • 3 cups 375g bread flour or all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons 1 packet active dry yeast
  • ½ cup 120ml warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
  • ¼ cup 80g sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons 30g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Egg Wash:

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions
 

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

  • In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  • Add the condensed milk, melted butter, egg, and the activated yeast mixture.
  • Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. (Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 6-8 minutes.)

Step 4: First Rise (Proofing)

  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5: Shape the Dough

  • Punch down the dough to release air, then divide it into equal portions. Shape it into a loaf or individual rolls.

Step 6: Second Rise

  • Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes.

Step 7: Bake the Bread

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Brush the top of the dough with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice and enjoy with butter, jam, or honey!
