Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) Yeast (active dry or instant)
- 3 tbsp Butter (melted)
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup Warm water
- 1 tsp Sugar
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: Combine warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and mix well.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a dough forms. Knead by hand if necessary until it becomes a soft dough.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add flour as needed, but keep the dough soft.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Shape the Dough: Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased loaf pan.
- Second Rise: Cover the loaf and let it rise for 30-60 minutes until puffed up.
- Bake the Bread: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. The bread should sound hollow when tapped.
- Cool and Slice: Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
Notes
- If you want an extra soft loaf, cover it with a damp cloth during the rising process.
- For an extra sweet touch, drizzle some honey or extra condensed milk over the bread before baking.
- The water used for activating the yeast should be warm (not hot) to ensure the yeast rises properly.
