fluffy condensed milk bread

Here’s a super fluffy condensed milk bread recipe — soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for tearing apart 🍞✨

Ingredients

• 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
• 2¼ tsp (1 packet) instant yeast
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¾ cup warm milk (not hot)
• ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 egg (room temperature)
• 3 tbsp butter, softened

Instructions

1. Activate yeast
   Mix warm milk, condensed milk, and yeast. Let sit 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Make the dough
   Add egg, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead
   Knead 8–10 minutes (by hand or mixer) until smooth and elastic.
   Knead in the butter until fully incorporated.
4. First rise
   Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–1½ hours until doubled.
5. Shape
   Punch down dough, divide into rolls or shape into a loaf.
   Place in a greased loaf pan or baking dish.
6. Second rise
   Cover and let rise 30–45 minutes until puffy.
7. Bake
   Bake at 175°C / 350°F for 25–30 minutes, until golden.
8. Finish (optional but amazing)
   Brush hot bread with melted butter or a little condensed milk.

Tips for Extra Fluffiness

• Use bread flour for even softer texture
• Don’t add extra flour — dough should be slightly sticky
• Let it cool slightly before tearing (hardest part!)

Variations

• Make condensed milk dinner rolls
• Add chocolate chips or raisins
• Fill with custard or cream cheese

If you want, I can convert this to a no-knead, bread machine, or Asian milk bread (tangzhong) version 😊
