Fluffy condensed milk bread is a delightful treat that’s soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for enjoying on its own or as part of a breakfast spread. Here’s a recipe to make fluffy condensed milk bread at home:
Ingredients:
- 2 and 1/4 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1/4 cup condensed milk
- 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, beaten (for dough)
- 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
- Sesame seeds or toppings of your choice (optional)
Instructions:
- Activate Yeast:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the bread flour, condensed milk, melted butter, salt, beaten egg, and activated yeast mixture.
- Mix everything until a dough forms.
- Knead Dough:
- Knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface or use the stand mixer on medium speed for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not too sticky. Add a little more flour if needed.
- First Rise:
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Loaf:
- After the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
- Second Rise:
- Cover the loaf pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until it reaches the top of the pan.
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) during the last 15 minutes of the second rise.
- Egg Wash and Bake:
- In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with a teaspoon of water. Brush the top of the risen dough with the egg wash. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds or your desired toppings.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Cool and Enjoy:
- Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
- Enjoy slices of fluffy condensed milk bread plain, toasted, or with your favorite spreads like butter, jam, or condensed milk drizzle.
