You’ll love how easy it is to whip up, even on a hectic day. Plus, the aroma that fills your kitchen is pure bliss. Whether you’re baking for family or friends, this bread is sure to impress with minimal effort.
Ingredients Cloud Soft Condensed Milk Bread
Creating this Cloud Soft Condensed Milk Bread is a breeze with a few pantry staples. You’ll need all-purpose flour, which forms the base of our bread, providing structure and chewiness. Granulated sugar adds a touch of sweetness, while salt balances the flavors perfectly. Instant yeast is our secret weapon for that quick rise, making the bread fluffy and light.
Whole milk, warmed to just the right temperature, helps activate the yeast and adds richness. Sweetened condensed milk is the star ingredient, lending a unique sweetness and tenderness to the bread. Melted unsalted butter brings a buttery flavor, while a large egg adds moisture and binds everything together. A hint of vanilla extract enhances the overall aroma.
For a golden crust, a little milk brushed on top before baking does the trick. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider adding almond extract for a nutty twist or mix in chocolate chips or dried fruit for extra sweetness and texture. Remember, the exact quantities are listed at the bottom of the article for easy reference and printing.
How to Make Cloud Soft Condensed Milk Bread
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
Start by gathering your dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Stir them together until they’re well mixed. This ensures that the yeast is evenly distributed, which is key for a consistent rise. Remember, the yeast is your bread’s best friend, helping it achieve that fluffy texture.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warmed whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, melted unsalted butter, a large egg, and vanilla extract. Make sure the milk is just warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast. This mixture should be smooth and well combined, creating a rich base for your dough. The sweetened condensed milk adds a unique sweetness that sets this bread apart.
Combine and Knead the Dough
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form. Once combined, transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. This step is crucial for developing the gluten, which gives the bread its structure. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
First Rise
Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour. The dough should double in size. This is the yeast working its magic, creating air pockets that make the bread light and airy. If your kitchen is cool, try placing the bowl in a slightly warm oven (turned off) to help it rise.
Shape and Second Rise
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Cover it again with the towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes. This second rise is important for achieving that cloud-like texture. The dough should rise just above the rim of the pan, indicating it’s ready for baking.
Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Before baking, brush the top of the loaf with a tablespoon of milk. This will give your bread a beautiful golden crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Once baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the irresistible aroma that fills your kitchen!
Tips for Success
Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise; expired yeast can lead to dense bread.
Use a kitchen thermometer to check the milk temperature; it should be around 110°F.
Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic; this develops the gluten for structure.
Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for optimal results.
For a softer crust, cover the bread with a towel while it cools.
Equipment Needed
Large mixing bowl – or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for convenience.
Whisk – a fork can work in a pinch for mixing wet ingredients.
9×5-inch loaf pan – a cake pan can be an alternative for a different shape.
Kitchen towel – or plastic wrap to cover the dough while it rises.
Wire rack – a cutting board can be used for cooling if needed.
Variations
For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup of chopped almonds or walnuts to the dough.
Swap the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier loaf.
Incorporate 1/2 cup of raisins or dried cranberries for a fruity touch.
For a dairy-free version, use almond milk and vegan butter.
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for a warm, spiced flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey for a sweet morning treat.
Serve alongside a warm bowl of soup for a comforting lunch.
Toast slices and top with avocado and a sprinkle of sea salt for a savory snack.
Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee for a relaxing afternoon break.
Present on a wooden board with assorted cheeses and fruits for a delightful brunch spread.
FAQs about Cloud Soft Condensed Milk Bread
Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?
Absolutely! If you’re using active dry yeast, dissolve it in the warmed milk first and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step ensures the yeast is activated before mixing it with the other ingredients.
What if I don’t have sweetened condensed milk?
No worries! You can substitute it with an equal amount of evaporated milk and add a bit more sugar to taste. This will still give your bread a lovely sweetness and tenderness.
How do I know if my dough has risen enough?
A simple test is to gently press your finger into the dough. If the indentation remains, it’s ready for the next step. If it springs back, give it a little more time to rise.
Can I freeze this bread?
Yes, you can! Once the bread has cooled completely, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw it at room temperature before serving.
Why is my bread dense and not fluffy?
This could be due to expired yeast or not kneading the dough enough. Ensure your yeast is fresh and knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic to develop the gluten properly.
