You can make this incredibly soft, slightly sweet bread using sweetened condensed milk. This recipe yields a tender crumb perfect for breakfast or snacking, and it is simple enough for beginner bread baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 105-115°F)
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of the sugar. Let this stand for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: Add the remaining sugar, sweetened condensed milk, egg, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Whisk until combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the salt and then gradually add the flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. It will feel soft.
  5. First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Shape the loaf: Gently punch down the risen dough. Shape it into a log and place it into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  7. Second rise: Cover the loaf pan loosely and let the dough rise again in a warm spot for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the dough has crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan.
  8. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  9. Cool: Remove the bread from the pan immediately after baking and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing for the best tender crumb.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, use whole milk instead of 2% milk.
  • If you prefer sweet rolls instead of a loaf, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces after the first rise, shape into balls, and place them in a greased 9×13 inch pan before the second rise. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • This bread is excellent toasted with butter and jam for a satisfying breakfast treat.
