Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 tsp instant dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp warm water
  • 300 g bread flour
  • 30 g granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 120 ml warm whole milk
  • 60 ml sweetened condensed milk
  • 60 ml heavy cream
  • 30 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg yolk, for egg wash
  • 1 tbsp milk, for egg wash

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • loaf pan
  • stand mixer or hands
  • oven
  • pastry brush

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine instant dry yeast with warm water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together bread flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add warm milk, condensed milk, heavy cream, and the activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until dough forms.
  4. Add softened butter and knead the dough by hand or mixer until smooth and elastic (about 15 minutes).
  5. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough, divide into equal portions, and shape each into a ball. Place into a lined or greased loaf pan.
  7. Let shaped dough rise again for about 30–45 minutes until puffy.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush dough with egg wash (egg yolk + milk).
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and cool before serving.

Notes

For extra softness, be sure not to overbake. You can also substitute whole milk for heavy cream for a lighter texture. Best enjoyed fresh but also perfect when toasted the next day. If the dough feels too sticky, chill it for 15 minutes before shaping.
