Instructions
- In a bowl, combine milk, sugar, salt, and butter. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Warm in microwave until luke-warm. Remove from microwave and add the egg and beat several times until well blended.
- In a big bowl, mix together flour and yeast. Pour in the liquid mixture over the flour and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a clean surface dusted with flour until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 7-10 minutes.
- Form the dough into a ball and place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm area and let it rise until it doubled in size. Depending on how warm it is, could take 30 minutes to an hour or longer.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 4 equal parts using a knife or dough slicer. Roll each into a log about 6-inch long. Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Leave them to rise for another 10-15 minutes.While waiting, preheat oven 370° F /185°C.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the sides are a slightly brown. Remove from the oven and let cool down. Cut each piece into 4 equal parts, lengthwise.
- Place them in a bread box or simply cover with a dry kitchen towel. Leave them at room temperature for a day or two (or longer) to dry out and harden. You may also proceed to the next step without drying them out but adjust for longer baking time.
- Preheat oven to 150°C.
- Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush a thin layer of softened butter or margarine on each piece on the cut sides. Next, brush them liberally with condensed milk.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden and condensed milk has become glossy but no longer tacky. Bread should also dry out and become crunchy.
Notes
- If you are using fresh bread, then you need to bake them longer at low temperature until the bread dries up and hardens. Bake at 100C for about 1 to 2 hours.
