Instructions

Begin by softening the butter at room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, condensed milk, egg, salt, and yeast.
Sift the all-purpose flour into the same bowl and mix with a spatula until the ingredients are combined.
Continue folding the dough until fully incorporated. Add the softened butter and mix until the butter is thoroughly combined into the dough.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 15 to 20 minutes until smooth. If the dough becomes too sticky, sprinkle a tablespoon of flour over the dough as needed.
Once kneaded, place the dough into a buttered bowl and cover it with a cloth or plastic wrap. Allow it to proof in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
After the first proofing, gently press the dough to release the air, then divide it into two equal portions.
Shape each portion into a 16 x 8-inch rectangle, then roll up the dough and pinch the seam to seal. Slice the dough into equal pieces similar to how you would prepare cinnamon rolls.
Arrange the cut dough pieces in a loaf pan, cover lightly with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise for another 45 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake the loaves for 22 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the bread bakes, prepare the condensed milk glaze by whisking together condensed milk and softened butter. Set aside.
After baking, remove the loaves from the pan immediately and brush them with the condensed milk glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For a sweeter bread, add extra sugar or increase the amount of condensed milk.
If the dough becomes too sticky, sprinkle a little flour while kneading to prevent it from sticking to your hands.
To make this bread dairy-free, substitute the milk and butter with plant-based alternatives like almond milk and dairy-free butter.
For a variation, add chocolate chips, dried fruits, or nuts to the dough.
Try adding vanilla extract or cinnamon to the condensed milk glaze for a different flavor.
