Ingredients

For the Dough:

2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour

2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast

¼ cup (60ml) warm milk (100–110°F / 37–43°C)

½ cup (120ml) sweetened condensed milk

1 large egg

¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened

½ tsp salt

For Brushing:

1 tbsp melted butter (optional)

1 tbsp condensed milk (optional, to mix with melted butter for sweet glaze)

 

Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast:

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

2. Make the Dough:

In a large bowl or stand mixer, add:

Flour

Salt

Condensed milk

Egg

Butter

Activated yeast mixture

Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic (or use a dough hook on medium speed for 6–8 minutes).

3. First Rise:

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

4. Shape the Dough:

Punch down the dough, divide it into 3 or 4 equal portions.

Roll each portion into a ball or log, then place into a greased loaf pan side by side (or shape as rolls if preferred).

5. Second Rise:

Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled.

6. Bake:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. Optional Glaze:

While still warm, brush the top with melted butter, or mix 1 tbsp condensed milk + 1 tbsp butter for a glossy sweet glaze.
