Prep & Cook Time

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Proofing Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
• Bake Time: 20–25 minutes
• Makes: 12 rolls

Ingredients

For the Dough

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
• ¾ cup warm milk (about 105°F / 40°C)
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• ½ teaspoon salt

For the Condensed Milk Glaze

• 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, instant yeast, egg, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk gently until everything is well blended and smooth.

2. Make the Dough

Add the flour and salt to the mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms, then begin kneading. Slowly add the softened butter and continue kneading for 8–10 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky.

3. Let the Dough Rise

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and leave it in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

4. Shape the Rolls

Gently press down the dough to remove excess air. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball.

Arrange the dough balls close together in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or on a lined baking tray.

5. Second Proof

Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise again for 30–40 minutes, until they become fluffy and expand.

6. Bake Until Golden

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden brown.

7. Add the Sweet Glaze

While the bread is still warm, mix the melted butter and condensed milk together. Brush the glaze generously over the freshly baked rolls for a soft, glossy, sweet finish.

Let them cool slightly before pulling apart and serving warm.

Baker’s Tips for Perfect Bread

Use the right temperature for your milk:
Make sure the milk is warm but not hot. Temperatures above 110°F can damage the yeast and prevent the dough from rising properly.

Don’t skip the kneading:
Proper kneading develops the gluten, giving the bread its signature soft and fluffy texture.

Storage:
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Warm them briefly in the microwave before serving to bring back their fresh-from-the-oven softness.

Enjoy these heavenly condensed milk bread rolls with your favorite drink or as a sweet homemade treat anytime!
