Create bakery-style soft milk bread at home using sweetened condensed milk. This easy recipe yields a rich, tender crumb perfect for breakfast or as a sweet snack bread.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sweetened condensed milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy. This confirms the yeast is active.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Pour the yeast mixture, melted butter, and the egg into the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer on low speed until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook for 6 to 8 minutes on medium-low speed. The dough should pass the windowpane test.
  5. Lightly grease a large bowl with oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
  6. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This first proof develops flavor.
  7. Gently punch down the risen dough. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a tight log.
  8. Place the dough into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  9. Cover the 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 above the rim of the pan.
  10. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) during the final 15 minutes of the second rise.
  11. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  12. Remove the bread from the pan immediately after baking and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to achieve the best tender crumb.

Notes

  • For extra richness, brush the top of the loaf with a little melted butter immediately after it comes out of the oven.
  • If you want rolls instead of a loaf, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls, and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Adjust the baking time to about 20-25 minutes.
  • This bread is excellent toasted for breakfast with jam or honey.
