Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix them well.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, regular milk, and melted butter.
-
Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
-
First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
-
Shape and Second Rise: Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
-
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
-
Add-ins: Try adding raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts to add texture and flavor.
-
Vegan Version: Swap the milk and butter for dairy-free alternatives like almond milk and vegan butter.
-
Sweet Topping: For a sweeter crust, brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar before baking.
