Here’s an easy Condensed Milk Bread recipe 🍞—soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients (Makes 1 loaf)
Dough:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) instant yeast
- ½ cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
Optional Topping:
- Egg wash (1 egg + 1 tsp water) for shine
Instructions
- Activate yeast:
- In a small bowl, mix warm milk + sugar + yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Make dough:
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
- Add yeast mixture, egg, and condensed milk. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead in butter for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First rise:
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise 1–1.5 hours, until doubled in size.
- Shape & second rise:
- Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover and let rise 30–40 minutes until puffy.
- Bake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush with egg wash if desired.
- Bake 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool slightly before slicing.
Tips & Variations
- Soft rolls: divide dough into small balls instead of one loaf.
- Extra flavor: add a teaspoon of vanilla or a pinch of cinnamon.
- Sweet touch: brush top with a little condensed milk after baking.
