📝 Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
- 1/2 cup warm water (not hot)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
Optional for topping:
- 1 tablespoon milk (for brushing)
- Extra melted butter for brushing after baking
🥖 Instructions
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
(This step ensures your yeast is active and ready to rise.)
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
Add condensed milk, melted butter, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Whisk until smooth.
Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in flour and salt. Mix with a spoon or spatula for about 2 minutes until fully combined.
The dough will be sticky — that’s perfect! No kneading needed.
Step 4: First Rise
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 5: Shape the Dough
Lightly grease a loaf pan.
Using lightly floured hands, gently deflate the dough and shape it into a loaf (or divide into rolls).
Place into the prepared pan.
Step 6: Second Rise
Cover again and let rise for 30–45 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled.
Step 7: Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush the top lightly with milk for a golden finish.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Step 8: Finish
Brush warm bread with melted butter for extra softness.
Let cool slightly before slicing (if you can wait 😉).
🔥 Methods & Tips for Extra Soft Bread
- ✔ Use room temperature eggs for better rise.
- ✔ Don’t overheat the water (lukewarm only).
- ✔ Sticky dough = soft bread. Avoid adding too much extra flour.
- ✔ Cover bread loosely with foil if it browns too quickly.

Adding condensed milk became popular in home baking because it adds sweetness, richness, and moisture without complicated steps. This recipe is a simplified version designed for modern kitchens — quick, easy, and incredibly fluffy.
🧡 Formation & Texture
This bread forms a soft, airy crumb with delicate strands inside. The eggs and butter enrich the dough, while condensed milk adds a gentle caramelized sweetness. The crust is thin and golden, not hard — making it perfect for tearing and sharing.
