Milk Bread Condensed (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Dough

01 - 1/4 cup (60 g) soft unsalted butter
02 - 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
03 - 1/4 cup (60 ml) warm water
04 - 1/4 cup (50 g) white sugar
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 3 1/2 cups (440 g) plain flour, plus extra for dusting
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 1/4 cup (60 ml) sweetened condensed milk
09 - 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk, warmed to about 110°F/43°C

→ Egg Wash

10 - 1 tablespoon of water
11 - 1 large egg, whisked

# Instructions:

01 - Stir together the yeast, flour, sugar, and salt in a big bowl. In another container, blend the warm milk, butter, condensed milk, beaten egg, and warm water until smooth. Slowly mix the wet and dry ingredients with a spoon or by hand until it becomes a sticky mixture.
02 - Set the dough on a counter with a bit of flour and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and stretchy. Or, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for around 5–6 minutes on medium speed. Put the dough ball in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it sit in a warm spot for 1–1.5 hours to grow twice as big.
03 - Once the dough rises, press it down to get rid of the extra air. Split the dough into 8–10 similar-sized portions and roll each one into a ball. Put the balls close together in a greased 9-inch (23 cm) round or square pan. Cover it again and let them rise for 30–40 minutes until they puff up.
04 - Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a brush to spread the egg wash over the tops of the dough balls for a shiny golden color. Bake for 20–25 minutes until they look golden and tapping on them sounds hollow.
05 - Once baked, let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool fully. It’s good warm or at room temperature, plain, or with your favorite spread.

# Notes:

01 - This Sweet Condensed Milk Bread is soft, fluffy, and just a little sweet. Made with condensed milk, it’s super soft and tasty. Perfect for snacks, tea, or breakfast.
02 - Prep ahead: Make the dough the night before and let it rise slowly in the fridge. Bring it out to warm up before baking.
03 - Keep fresh: Store it in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze it to keep it fresh for up to 3 months.
04 - Add a twist: Mix in raisins, chocolate chips, or shredded coconut for extra flavor.
