Directions
Step One: Prepare the Bread Dough.
Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the yeast with 2 tablespoons of lukewarm milk and a small amount of sugar. Let it rest for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. This procedure guarantees that your yeast is active.
Combine the liquid ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg, the remaining milk, the condensed milk, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Combine the dry ingredients. Gradually add the wheat flour and yeast mixture to the wet ingredients. Combine the ingredients until a rough dough is formed.
Please add butter. Incorporate the softened butter into the dough and knead until fully combined. The dough will start out sticky but will become soft and elastic after 8-10 minutes of kneading. If you are using a stand mixer, knead the dough with a dough hook at medium speed for approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
First Check: Form the dough into a spherical shape and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Place a layer of plastic wrap or a moist cloth over it and allow it to rise in a warm location for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Second Step: Prepare the condensed milk cream.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Add the sugar and condensed milk, and stir until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Please cover the container and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Third Step: Shape the dough.
Once the dough has risen, tap it to release any air bubbles.
Place the dough on a surface lightly dusted with flour and separate it into 8 equal parts.
Form each portion into a uniform sphere, or if preparing a loaf, mold the dough into a rectangular shape to fit your baking pan.
Step 4: Second Proofing
Place the shaped dough pieces in a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan or baking sheet. Cover loosely with a plastic wrap.
Allow the dough to undergo a second rising process for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until it has doubled in volume.
Step 5: Apply the egg mixture.
In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk and milk with a whisk.
Gently apply the mixture to the surface of the dough. This procedure guarantees a glossy, golden outer layer.
Step 6: Bake the bread.
Please preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 7: Serve.Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool thoroughly.
Cut the food into slices and serve it with condensed milk cream or your preferred spreads.
