What Makes This Sweetened Condensed Milk Bread So Irresistible?

The Secret Behind the Softness

The magic of this bread lies in its sweetened condensed milk. As a chef, I’ve worked with all kinds of enriched doughs, but this one always surprises me with how soft and tender the crumb turns out. Here’s why:

• Sweetened condensed milk: Adds both richness and a silky moisture to the dough, locking in tenderness.
• Warm milk: Enhances the softness and activates the yeast gently for an even rise.
• Butter + egg: Contribute richness and create a velvety, pliable dough that bakes up like a dream.

“Enriched with milk, butter, and egg this bread doesn’t just rise, it blooms into something spectacular.” – @RiseAndKnead
