Make this incredibly soft, slightly sweet homemade bread using sweetened condensed milk for a tender crumb. This recipe delivers bakery-style texture with simple steps, perfect for breakfast or as a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 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. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the granulated sugar, sweetened condensed milk, egg, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk until combined.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. This kneading develops the gluten for a fluffy texture.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Gently punch down the risen dough. Shape it into a log and place it seam-side down in a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  7. 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. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) during the last 15 minutes of the second rise.
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  10. Remove the bread from the pan immediately after baking and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • For an extra rich, brioche style bread, use whole milk instead of 2% milk.
  • To achieve the softest crumb, avoid over-flouring the surface during kneading.
  • If you want sweet condensed milk rolls instead of a loaf, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces after the first rise and shape them into balls before placing them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Adjust baking time to 20-25 minutes.
