A pillowy soft bread with the aroma of condensed milk. It takes a bit longer and also is rather wet and sticky to handle, but totally worth the effort because it will be soft for days. See the beautiful soft strands within.

Sponge dough
- 180g bread flour
- 120g water
- 3/4 tsp yeast
Main dough

- 1/2 egg (25g)
- 40g condensed milk
- 15g sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 25g butter
- 10g water (optional, if dough is dry)
Method
1. Mix sponge dough roughly together with a fork, till no dry bits. Cover with cling wrap. Proof at room temperature for 3-4 hours OR proof at room temperature for 1 hour followed by in the fridge for 12 hours. Proof till dough is all bubbly, with many gluten strands underneath.
2. Tear sponge dough into small pieces. Add in main dough ingredients except butter. Knead with stand mixer till a rough dough forms, then add in butter and knead till smooth and elastic. Proof for 20-30 min.
3. Divide into 7 portions (66g), roll into round doughs and rest covered for 20 min.
4. Roll out with rolling pin into an oval. Swissroll length side down and pinch to close. Place seam side down in a lined baking tray.

Hi..
I love all your bakes. For all your Bread bake do you turn on the fan mode while baking?

Usually it’s no fan for the first 5-10 min, then fan mode for the remaining time for breads. Cakes usually without fan mode.

Hi, if I’m using bread maker can I just add in all the ingredients??

You should still make the sponge dough first, which can be done by hand easily. Then add everything in.

Hi, after taking out the sponge dough from the fridge the next day, can I use it immediately or do I need to wait till it returns to room temp? Thanks.

Hi, I have tried making bread which is really soft and fluffy. Just curious as to why my bread is more yellowish instead of white like yours.

Maybe it’s the egg or flour that you are using.
