Soft Condensed Milk Bread

Here’s what you will need to create your very own soft condensed milk bread:

• 1 large egg
• 140 g (2/3 cup) room temperature milk
• 30 g (2 1/2 tablespoons) condensed milk

Directions

Follow these simple steps to make your soft condensed milk bread:

• Step 1: In a bowl, mix the room temperature milk, condensed milk, and egg until combined.
• Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine the flour and yeast, making a well in the center.
• Step 3: Slowly pour the milk mixture into the well of the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
• Step 4: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
• Step 5: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
• Step 6: Punch down the dough gently and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased bread pan.
• Step 7: Cover the loaf again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
• Step 8: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Step 9: Bake the loaf for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
• Step 10: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
