Sure, here’s a recipe for making a soft bread using condensed milk:
Condensed Milk Soft Bread
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup condensed milk
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast:
- In a small bowl, mix the warm water with a teaspoon of sugar and sprinkle the yeast over it. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
- Pour the activated yeast mixture, warm milk, condensed milk, and melted butter into the well.
- Mix all the ingredients together until a rough dough forms.
- Kneading and Rising:
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 10-12 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
- Shaping and Second Rise:
- Punch down the risen dough to remove excess air.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into rolls or place them in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover the shaped dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes until they puff up.
- Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If using a loaf pan, brush the risen dough with the beaten egg for a shiny crust (optional).
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes for rolls or 35-40 minutes for a loaf until they turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Cooling and Serving:
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
This soft bread made with condensed milk is slightly sweet and perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoyed on its own. Adjust the sweetness by altering the amount of condensed milk to suit your taste preference.
