Make this incredibly soft and slightly sweet bread loaf using sweetened condensed milk for a tender crumb. This recipe is beginner-friendly and yields a pillowy texture perfect for breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sweetened condensed milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, salt, and optional sugar.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, 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. It should feel soft.
  5. Lightly grease a clean bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning once to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
  6. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size. This is your first proof.
  7. Gently punch down the dough. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  8. 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. This is your second proof.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) during the last 15 minutes of the second rise.
  10. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  11. Remove the loaf from the pan immediately after baking and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • For an even softer crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter immediately after removing it from the oven.
  • If you prefer rolls instead of a loaf, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces after the first rise, shape into balls, and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Adjust baking time to about 20-25 minutes.
  • You can use the dough cycle on your bread machine for the initial mixing and kneading if you prefer hands-off preparation.
