How to Make Cloud Soft Condensed Milk Bread
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine bread flour, milk powder, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well. -
Add the Wet Ingredients
Add warm milk, sweetened condensed milk, and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms. -
Knead the Dough
Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Add the softened butter gradually and continue kneading until fully incorporated and the dough is soft and stretchy. -
First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 60–90 minutes, or until doubled in size. -
Shape the Bread
Punch down the dough gently. Shape into a loaf or divide into rolls and place into a greased loaf pan or baking dish. -
Second Rise
Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled. -
Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped. -
Cool and Serve
Remove from oven and brush lightly with butter if desired. Let cool slightly before slicing.
Storage Instructions
