A nostalgic sweet bread that’s easy to whip up, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine milk, sweetened condensed milk, egg, sugar, and yeast. Whisk until fully integrated.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually fold in the flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms. Add pieces of softened butter and mix until incorporated.
- Develop gluten: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until elastic.
- First rise: Shape into a ball, place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
- Shape loaves: Punch down the dough, divide into two, roll into rectangles, and shape into logs.
- Create pull-apart sections: Slice each log into seven pieces and arrange in loaf pans with cut sides facing out.
- Second rise: Cover and allow to rise for 45 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), brush loaves with egg wash, and bake for 20 to 22 minutes.
- Apply glaze: Brush loaves with a mixture of softened butter and sweetened condensed milk while warm.
