Fluffy Condensed Milk Bread!

Step 5: Shape the Loaf

1. Punch down the dough gently to release air.
2. Roll it into a rectangle and fold or roll it into a loaf shape.
3. Place it in a greased loaf pan (8×4 inch / 20×10 cm works well).

Step 6: Second Rise

1. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a cloth.
2. Let it rise for 30–45 minutes, until the dough puffs slightly above the pan’s rim.

Step 7: Preheat Oven and Prepare for Baking

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Brush the top of the dough gently with the egg wash to give it a golden, shiny finish.

Step 8: Bake

1. Bake the bread for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
2. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil for the last 5–10 minutes.

Step 9: Cool and Serve

1. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
2. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
3. Slice and enjoy your fluffy, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth condensed milk bread!

Tips for the Fluffiest Bread

• Use warm milk (not hot) to activate yeast properly.
• Knead well to develop gluten; this makes the bread soft but strong enough to hold its shape.
• Don’t skip the second rise—this step is crucial for a light, airy texture.
• Condensed milk gives sweetness, so adjust sugar carefully if you want a less sweet version.

This Fluffy Condensed Milk Bread is perfect for breakfast with butter or jam, or for making soft, sweet sandwiches. Its tender texture and gentle sweetness make it a favorite among kids and adults alike. Once you make it, you’ll find yourself baking it every week!
