1.5 tsp active dry yeast* see the notes to halve the yeast
0.5 tsp sugar
60 ml warm water
0.5 cup unsweetened condensed milk (evaporated milk)

Instructions

Instructions soft bread with evaporated milk and nuts

In a bowl mix dry yeast, sugar and warm water and set aside let stand until foamy, about 5 – 10 minutes.
In a large bowl unite evaporated milk, 2 tablespoons of water, oil, honey, salt, wheat flour and stir.
Add the yeast mixture and bread flour to the liquid batter and helping yourself with a wood spoon stir until it begins to form a ball.
Knead the dough by hand for minimum 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume (about 1 hour – 1 hour and a half). The rising times are approximate, it can take more or less time depending on the temperature of the environment, the freshness of the yeast, the strength of the flour and other factors not related to the recipe.
Deflate the dough then add the walnuts and knead briefly.
Form a loaf. Place in a loaf tin, previously lined with parchment paper, cover with a cotton cloth and let it become puffy for another half an hour – 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190° C and bake the loaf for 25 – 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and wait 5 minutes before taking out the bread from the tin.

Notes

2 hours 30 minutes waiting time.

* To keep your bread, rolls, pizzas, focaccia and other yeast dough recipes soft and fragrant for longer, you need to cut the amount of active dry yeast in half and extend the rising time
