Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter is just melted. Allow the mixture to cool until warm, not hot.
Add the milk-butter mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes, until the dough is soft, smooth, and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Shape the dough into a loaf or divide it into 8 equal pieces to make rolls, depending on your preference.
Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan or arrange the pieces in a round baking dish. Cover and let it rise again for 30–45 minutes, until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the bread for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
While the bread is cooling slightly, prepare the creamy topping by whisking together the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
Optional: For a toasted topping, gently warm the mixture in a saucepan over low heat until slightly thickened.
Brush or drizzle the creamy topping onto the warm bread or rolls. Allow it to soak in for a few minutes.
Serve the Milky Bread Comfort Food warm for the ultimate experience, or store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
