What Is Condensed Milk Bread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Milk bread is a popular style in Asia known for its exceptional softness, fluffiness, and slight sweetness, quite different from European bread. What makes it unique is the Tangzhong technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s that?<\/em> It\u2019s when you cook water and flour to make a thick paste called roux<\/a>. After it\u2019s cooled, add it to the dinner roll dough, resulting in a cloud-like texture! When the recipe uses sweetened condensed milk as one of its primary ingredients, you end up with condensed milk rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to skip the tangzhong step <\/strong>(that\u2019s what makes this recipe ideal for beginner bakers). The rolls still came out divine with a beautiful crumb that\u2019s bliss to eat and a cinch to make.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why We Love These Rolls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Great recipe for entertaining or a last-minute addition to dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each condensed milk bun is so soft, fluffy, buttery, and just slightly sweet! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because they\u2019re not overly sweet, they pair deliciously with all things savory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Recipe Ingredients <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"ingredients<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n

Yeast<\/strong>: Both instant or dried work. Just remember, don\u2019t add yeast directly to the ingredients. Always bloom it first to check it\u2019s active. It\u2019ll save you a lot of heartache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Condensed milk:<\/strong> Typically, the recipe for milk bread rolls has eggs. Since I wanted to make it eggless<\/strong>, condensed milk does double duty. It sweetens the dinner rolls and <\/em>makes them richer, so the absence of eggs doesn\u2019t make a difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegan<\/strong> bread with condensed milk: Switch to dairy-free milk, plant-based condensed milk<\/a>, and butter (or coconut oil).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How To Make Condensed Milk Bread Rolls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Stir sugar and yeast to lukewarm water. Let it sit till nice and frothy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong>  In your stand mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, condensed milk, softened butter, and the activated yeast. With a spatula, bring together all the ingredients till you have a scraggy condensed milk roll dough.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"mix<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Cover the dough and let it proof for 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Start slowly and then gradually move to medium-high speed. Knead the dough in the mixer for 10 to 12 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> When the condensed milk bread roll dough starts to leave the sides of the bowl, transfer it to a lightly greased bowl. Cover and place in a draft-free corner of your kitchen for an hour (or until it doubles in size) for the second proof. <\/p>\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Punch the dough gently to deflate. Turn it over your work surface. You don\u2019t need to flour the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Shape it into a log and cut equal pieces for 9 milk yeast rolls. <\/p>\n\n\n

Step 8:<\/strong> Line a 9-inch baking tray with parchment paper. Working with one piece at a time, roll each into a ball (use your prep surface as a base) and place it on the tray. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

\n
\"Ready<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Step 10:<\/strong> Brush each dinner roll with milk. Slide into the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow on tapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final step:<\/strong> Brush melted butter on the hot condensed milk buns and serve!<\/p>\n\n\n
