🧰 Equipment Needed

• Large mixing bowl
• Measuring cups & spoons
• Whisk or stand mixer with dough hook
• Loaf pan (8×4 or 9×5 inch)
• Clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap
• Pastry brush (for glaze)

🛒 Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
• 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
• ½ cup warm milk (about 100°F / 38°C)
• ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk 🥛
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• ½ tsp salt

For the Glaze (Optional but Highly Recommended):

• 2 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
• 1 Tbsp butter, melted

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Activate the Yeast

• In a small bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast.
• Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy — that means your yeast is alive and ready!

2. Make the Dough

• In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer), combine the yeast mixture, condensed milk, egg, butter, and salt.
• Gradually add flour while mixing until a soft dough forms.
• Knead for 8–10 minutes (by hand or mixer) until smooth and elastic.

3. First Rise

• Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl.
• Cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

4. Shape the Loaf

• Punch down the dough gently to release air.
• Roll it out into a rectangle, then roll it up tightly into a log.
• Place seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.

5. Second Rise

• Cover and let it rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffy and almost doubled.

6. Bake to Golden Perfection

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

7. Brush & Cool

• Mix condensed milk and melted butter to make a glossy glaze.
• Brush the warm loaf right after baking for a shiny, soft finish. ✨
• Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing.

❓ 10 FAQs

1. Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
   Yes — skip the activation step and mix it directly with the flour.
2. Can I make this without eggs?
   Yes! Replace the egg with 3 Tbsp milk or cream for a softer crumb.
3. Can I knead the dough by hand?
   Absolutely — just be patient and knead until smooth and stretchy.
4. Can I make it dairy-free?
   Try coconut milk and a vegan condensed milk substitute. 🌱
5. What makes condensed milk bread different?
   It’s richer, sweeter, and softer than regular bread thanks to the milk sugar.
6. Can I make this into pull-apart bread?
   Yes! Shape small balls of dough in a round pan — bake as pull-apart rolls.
7. Can I add fillings like raisins or nuts?
   Definitely! Add ½ cup of your favorite mix-ins before shaping.
8. Can I use bread flour?
   Yes, for a slightly chewier texture — reduce by 2 tablespoons.
9. Why is my bread dense?
   It likely didn’t rise enough — ensure your yeast is active and dough doubles in size.
10. Can I bake it in a bread machine?
    Yes — just use the “sweet bread” setting and follow your machine’s instructions.
