Instructions

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, mix warm milk (about 110°F/43°C) with yeast and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, until foamy.

Step 2: Make the Dough

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and condensed milk.
Add the egg, softened butter, and activated yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

Knead by hand or with a stand mixer (using the dough hook) for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 4: First Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5: Shape the Dough

Punch down the dough, divide it into equal portions, and shape into a loaf or rolls.
Place the shaped dough in a greased loaf pan and cover.

Step 6: Second Rise

Let it rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.

Step 7: Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush the top with a little condensed milk mixed with milk for a golden finish.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 8: Cool & Serve

Let it cool before slicing. Enjoy warm or toasted!

Notes

Use warm milk (not hot) to activate the yeast properly.
Knead well for the fluffiest texture.
Let it rise fully before baking to avoid dense bread.
For extra softness, brush with melted butter after baking.
