Condensed milk buns

Bakes have taken a side seat since long, as I don't get enough time these days. But I love baking and so whenever there is something new to try, I would definitely make a point to try. This is one such bake recipe that I loved for the soft, fluffy nature. They are so soft, pillowy that you just totally enjoy the bite. The ingredients are easy to combine, and they are ready very soon. Check it out !!

Method

• In a bowl, add the milk, condensed milk, egg and granulated sugar, yeast and mix. To this add the all-purpose flour(maida) and salt. Give a mix.
• The dough may be sticky, transfer to a baking mat or clean counter top and knead. Add the softened butter and knead for 8–10 minutes until the gluten sets. Check using the windowpane test. Pinch out a small portion and stretch the dough until thin. The light must pass through this layer but shouldn't tear is an indication that gluten has set in. At this point, transfer the dough to an oiled bowl.Cover and leave to rise for 1–2 hours.
• Once the dough is risen, punch out the air from the dough and make 8 equal sized balls. Shape and place on an oiled tray. Cover and leave for 45 minutes for the second rise.
• In the meantime, mash the butter for brushing Add condensed milk and mix without lumps. Keep aside.
• Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C for 10 minutes. 
• Brush the prepared buns liberally with the condensed milk mix and reserve the rest for final brush after bake. 
• Place and bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes. Mine was done at 20 minutes. Finally, brush the condensed milk mix. Cool on a wire rack in the tray for 10 minutes and then remove the buns out of the tray.
• Enjoy just like that or drizzle an extra dash of condensed milk and give a try.

NOTES

* You can make a single loaf of bread too in the bread tray if you don't want to shape it like buns.

* This is a mildly sweet soft fluffy buns, you can drizzle extra condensed  milk if you like it sweet.
