Soft & Fluffy Sweetened Condensed Milk Bread

What sets this bread apart from typical white bread is the sweetened condensed milk. It gives this loaf a luxurious richness and natural sweetness without being overwhelming. And oh, the texture it’s like biting into the softest dinner roll you’ve ever had, only better.

• Ultra soft texture: The condensed milk adds both moisture and softness, creating that signature fluffy crumb.
• Gently sweet: It’s sweet enough to enjoy plain, but subtle enough to use for sandwiches.
• No mixer required: You can make this by hand just give it a good knead.
• Versatile: Makes amazing French toast, sliders, or simply toast with butter and jam.
• Beginner friendly: With just one rise and basic ingredients, it’s a fantastic intro to enriched bread doughs.

What Makes This Sweetened Condensed Milk Bread So Irresistible?

The Secret Behind the Softness

The magic of this bread lies in its sweetened condensed milk. As a chef, I’ve worked with all kinds of enriched doughs, but this one always surprises me with how soft and tender the crumb turns out. Here’s why:

• Sweetened condensed milk: Adds both richness and a silky moisture to the dough, locking in tenderness.
• Warm milk: Enhances the softness and activates the yeast gently for an even rise.
• Butter + egg: Contribute richness and create a velvety, pliable dough that bakes up like a dream.
