Sweet Condensed Milk Bread

How to Make Sweet Condensed Milk Bread ?
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk (not hot), condensed milk, sugar, and instant dry yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy and bubbly, which means the yeast is active.
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture, egg, and softened butter. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to add too much, as you want the dough to remain soft and moist.
First Proofing: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 2: Shape the Bread
Prepare the Baking Pan: Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Punch Down the Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Transfer it onto a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Prepare the Condensed Milk Cream: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, sugar, and condensed milk until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Roll and Shape the Dough: Carefully roll the dough into a log, making sure the condensed milk cream stays inside. Once rolled, pinch the seams to seal the dough. Place the rolled dough into the prepared loaf pan, seam side down.
Step 3: Second Proofing
Let the Dough Rise: Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it has puffed up and is nearly doubled in size.
Prepare the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Brush this egg wash generously over the top of the dough to create a golden, glossy crust.
Step 4: Bake the Bread
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the Bread: Bake the bread in the for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. If the bread begins to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil and continue baking.
Cool the Bread: Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
