Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons plant-based butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Measure all ingredients precisely. Ensure the warm water is comfortable to the touch to activate the yeast effectively. Make sure the plant-based butter is softened but not melted for smooth mixing.
- Add Ingredients to the Bread Machine: Layer ingredients into the bread pan as per your bread machine’s instructions: liquids first (warm water, condensed milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, softened plant-based butter), then dry ingredients (flour and salt), and yeast last on top to prevent early activation.
- Choose the Basic or Sweet Bread Setting: Select the basic or sweet bread cycle on your machine with a medium crust setting, then start the cycle. This will knead, rise, and bake the bread for optimal texture.
- Monitor the Dough (Optional): If your machine has a viewing window, observe the kneading stage to ensure the dough forms a smooth, elastic ball. If needed, adjust by adding a tablespoon of flour or water.
- Cool and Serve: When baking is complete, carefully remove the bread pan and transfer the loaf to a wire rack. Allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing to prevent gumminess and help the crumb set.
Notes
- Use fresh yeast for the best rise and texture.
- Measure flour by spooning into the cup and leveling for accurate quantity and to avoid dense bread.
- Avoid opening the lid frequently during baking to maintain stable temperature and good crust.
- Warm water should not be hot; lukewarm water ensures optimal yeast activation.
- Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack to preserve crust texture and crumb integrity.
