Create incredibly soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet homemade bread using sweetened condensed milk. This easy recipe yields a tender crumb perfect for breakfast toast or a comforting snack.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sweetened condensed milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt. If using, add the optional granulated sugar here.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. The dough will feel soft.
  5. Lightly grease a large bowl with oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
  6. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size. This is your first proof.
  7. Gently punch down the dough to release the air. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  8. 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. This is your second proof.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) about 20 minutes before the end of the second proof.
  10. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  11. Remove the bread from the pan immediately and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • For extra richness, brush the top of the loaf with a little melted butter immediately after it comes out of the oven.
  • If you prefer soft rolls instead of a loaf, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces after the first punch down, shape into balls, and place them close together in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish before the second proof.
  • Sweetened condensed milk provides moisture, so this bread stays fresh longer than standard white bread.
