Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, sweetened condensed milk, yeast, and milk. Add the bread flour and salt, then mix well with a spatula until a dough forms. Cover the bowl with a lid and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
-
Knead the dough thoroughly while incorporating the unsalted butter. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each piece into a long, cylindrical shape using a rolling pin.
-
Arrange the shaped dough pieces in an 8"×8" (20×20 cm) baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let them rise for 50 minutes. Brush the dough with egg wash and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 20 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately brush with unsalted butter for a soft and glossy finish.
-
Let the bread cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm and fluffy!
