Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast or instant yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • Optional: melted butter or extra condensed milk for brushing

Instructions

  1. If using active dry yeast, bloom it in warm milk with a pinch of sugar for 5–10 minutes until foamy. If using instant yeast, skip this step and mix it with the dry ingredients.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and egg. Add sweetened condensed milk and the yeast mixture.
  3. Knead until smooth and elastic (8–10 minutes by hand or 5–6 minutes with a mixer). Add softened butter and knead until fully incorporated.
  4. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1½ hours until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down, shape into a loaf or rolls, and place in a greased pan. Let rise again for 30–40 minutes.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Brush warm bread with melted butter or condensed milk. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Add cinnamon sugar, raisins, or shredded coconut for variation.
  • For a savory version, reduce sugar and add herbs or cheese.
  • Shape into rolls or braids for different presentations.
  • Make dough ahead and refrigerate overnight for slow rise.
  • Reheat slices briefly in the microwave or toaster for freshness.
