Ingredients
  

For the dough:
  • 3 cups 360g all-purpose flour
  • 2¼ tsp 1 packet active dry yeast
  • ½ cup 120ml warm milk (100–110°F / 38–43°C)
  • ⅓ cup 100g sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup 57g unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ tsp salt
  • For the egg wash:
  • 1 egg + 1 tbsp milk optional, for golden finish
Optional topping:
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • Extra condensed milk for drizzling if desired

Method
 

Activate the yeast:
  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Make the dough:
  1. In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer with dough hook), combine flour, salt, condensed milk, egg, and softened butter. Add the activated yeast mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough:
  1. Knead by hand or with a mixer for about 8–10 minutes, until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
First rise:
  1. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 60–90 minutes or until doubled in size.
Shape the bread:
  1. Punch down the dough. For a loaf: shape into a rectangle and roll tightly, then place into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. For rolls: divide into 12 pieces and roll into balls; place in a greased 9-inch round or square pan.
Second rise:
  1. Cover and let the shaped dough rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the dough with egg wash if using.
Bake:
  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Finish:
  1. Brush with melted butter right after baking. Let cool slightly before slicing or serving.

Notes

For even softer bread, replace ¼ cup of the flour with cake flour or bread flour if available.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer.
Delicious served with butter, jam, or extra condensed milk drizzle for extra sweetness.
You can also make this as pull-apart rolls in a round pan for a more shareable version.
