Ingredients
Scale
Soft and Fluffy Condensed Milk Bread Ingredients:
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) warm milk
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 egg
Leavening and Enhancing Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
Seasoning and Fat Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Activate the yeast mixture by whisking warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast together, allowing it to bloom and become frothy for 5 minutes.
- Incorporate sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, egg, and salt into the yeast mixture, stirring until thoroughly blended.
- Gradually fold in flour, kneading methodically until a soft, cohesive dough develops with a smooth, elastic texture.
- Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a draft-free, warm environment for approximately 1 hour until doubled in volume.
- Gently deflate the risen dough, then shape into uniform rolls or a single loaf on a prepared baking sheet.
- Allow shaped dough to undergo a second proofing for 30 minutes, ensuring it becomes puffy and expanded.
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) while the dough completes its final rise.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating midway through cooking to ensure even golden-brown coloration and consistent baking.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving, allowing the bread to set and develop its full flavor profile.
Notes
- Choose room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent dough texture.
- Activate yeast carefully by checking water temperature between 100-110°F to prevent killing or under-activating the yeast.
- Handle dough gently during kneading and shaping to maintain air pockets that create soft, tender bread structure.
- For gluten-free adaptation, substitute all-purpose flour with a blend of gluten-free flour and xanthan gum to maintain bread’s elasticity.
