This soft and fluffy bread is a delightful treat, perfect for breakfast or a snack. The addition of sweetened condensed milk gives it a rich flavor and a tender crumb, making it irresistible. Serve it plain, with butter, or as the base for delicious sandwiches.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 large egg
- Extra flour for dusting
Instructions:
- Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, condensed milk, melted butter, and egg.
- Knead the Dough: Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Bread: Punch down the dough to release air, then shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
- Second Rise: Cover the loaf with a cloth and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until it’s puffy.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake: Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool: Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
