Make an incredibly soft and fluffy loaf of bread using sweetened condensed milk. This easy recipe delivers a rich, tender crumb perfect for breakfast toast or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and sweetened condensed milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the sugar, salt, egg, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Whisk until combined.
  3. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. It will feel soft.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size. This enrichment helps create that rich creamy bread texture.
  6. Gently punch down the dough. Shape it into a log and place it seam-side down into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  7. Cover the pan loosely and let the dough rise again in a warm spot for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the dough has crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  9. Remove the bread from the pan immediately after baking and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • For an extra soft top crust, brush the loaf with a little melted butter immediately after removing it from the oven.
  • If you prefer sweet rolls instead of a loaf, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls, and place them close together in a 9×13 inch baking dish for a second rise before baking at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
  • The sweetened condensed milk provides moisture, so avoid adding too much extra flour during kneading to keep the crumb tender.
