Ingredients
Scale
1 cup warm milk (about 105-115°F)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Combine the warm milk and yeast in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
Stir the sugar, sweetened condensed milk, egg, and melted butter into the yeast mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Gently punch down the risen dough. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Cover the pan loosely and let the dough rise again for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it crests about 1 inch over the rim of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) during the second rise.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
Remove the bread from the pan immediately and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
For an extra soft crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter immediately after removing it from the oven.
If you prefer rolls, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish before the second rise. Adjust baking time slightly.
Ensure your milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
