Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast

Wet Ingredients:

• ½ cup warm milk (not hot)
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons melted butter or oil

Optional:

• Extra butter for brushing
• Milk or egg wash for glazing

 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough (2 Minutes Only!)

1. In a large mixing bowl, add:
   • All-purpose flour
   • Sugar
   • Salt
   • Instant yeast
2. Whisk everything together until well combined.
3. Make sure the yeast does not touch salt directly for best activation.

Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients

1. Pour in:
   • Warm milk
   • Condensed milk
   • Egg
   • Melted butter or oil
2. Using a spoon or spatula, mix everything together for about 2 minutes until a sticky, shaggy dough forms.

No kneading required
Dough will be sticky — that’s normal

Step 3: First Rise

1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
2. Place it in a warm area.
3. Let the dough rise for 60–90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
4. The condensed milk helps keep the dough soft and moist during fermentation.

Step 4: Shape the Dough

1. Lightly flour your hands and work surface.
2. Gently deflate the dough and shape it into a loaf or divide into rolls.
3. Place into a greased loaf pan or baking tray.

Step 5: Second Rise

1. Cover again and let rise for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
2. The dough should slowly spring back when lightly pressed.

Step 6: Bake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Brush the top lightly with milk or egg wash (optional).
3. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown on top.
4. If the top browns too fast, loosely cover with foil.

Step 7: Finish & Cool

1. Remove bread from the oven.
2. Brush immediately with melted butter for extra softness.
3. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
