How to Make Condensed Milk Bread: A Simple Guide

Condensed milk bread, known for its soft texture and subtle sweetness, is a beloved treat worldwide. Here’s a concise guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: You’ll need 300ml warm milk, 40g unsalted butter (melted), 1 large egg, 100g condensed milk, 500g bread flour, 7g instant yeast, and 5g salt.

Steps:

1. Activate yeast: Mix warm milk with yeast and 1 tsp sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

2. Combine dough: In a large bowl, whisk flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, condensed milk, egg, and melted butter. Knead for 10–15 minutes until smooth and elastic.

3. First rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.

4. Shape: Punch down the dough, divide it into equal portions, and roll each into a ball. Flatten slightly, fold into thirds, and roll into a log. Place in a greased loaf pan.

5. Second rise: Cover and let rise again for 45–60 minutes until the dough reaches the pan’s rim.

6. Bake: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown. Brush with butter for extra shine while still warm.

Tips: For richer flavor, replace 50g flour with milk powder. Adjust baking time based on your oven. Enjoy plain or with butter, jam, or as French toast! This recipe yields a fluffy, sweet-perfect loaf that’s sure to impress.
