How to Make the Recipe

Get ready to create something delightful! Follow these simple steps to whip up your Easy Sweet Condensed Milk Bread.

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Collect all your ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup warm water, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast, 1/4 cup melted butter, and a pinch of salt.

Step 2: Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and the activated yeast mixture. Stir until well blended.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 5: Knead the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Don’t be shy; give it some love!

Step 6: Let It Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7: Shape the Bread

Once risen, punch down the dough gently. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.

Step 8: Second Rise

Cover the loaf with a cloth and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes until puffy.

Step 9: Preheat the Oven

While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get that oven nice and toasty!

Step 10: Bake the Bread

Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11: Cool and Enjoy

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice, spread some butter, and enjoy your delightful creation!

FAQs

What can I substitute for sweetened condensed milk?

If you don’t have sweetened condensed milk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by mixing evaporated milk with sugar. Combine one cup of evaporated milk with one and a quarter cups of sugar, and heat gently until the sugar dissolves. This will give you a similar sweetness and consistency for your bread!

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Absolutely! Whole wheat flour can be used for a healthier option, but keep in mind that it may result in a denser bread. You might want to mix it with some all-purpose flour to maintain a lighter texture while still enjoying the benefits of whole grains.

How do I store leftover bread?

To keep your Easy Sweet Condensed Milk Bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it. Just slice the bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and place it in a freezer bag for up to three months.

Can I add flavors or mix-ins to the bread?

Definitely! This bread is versatile, so feel free to add your favorite flavors or mix-ins. Chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits can enhance the sweetness and texture. Just make sure not to overload it, so the bread maintains its structure and bakes evenly!
