Fluffy, soft, and delicious. These amazing Condensed Milk Bread Rolls are super easy to make and perfect to serve with dinner or breakfast.
Condensed Milk Dinner Rolls
Every time I post a bread recipe, I always mention that my favorite is bread. Working with yeast is part science and part magic.
Kneading the dough and feeling it become soft and elastic, watching it grow as it proves and then the transformation while it bakes has always fascinated me.
These delicious dinner rolls are sweet because they are glazed on top as soon as they come out of the oven.
The texture reminds me of those rolls they served us at Chinese restaurants in Venezuela.
You can add any citrus zest, herbs, and spices to your liking.
I love spreading some jam and butter if I’m having them for breakfast. I can just toast them up the next day and they will be as delicious as ever.
They are great for small sandwiches as well. Perfect to stuff in the lunchbox for your kids at school and for work.
When making these, check the expiration date of your yeast to make sure it will activate.
This recipe will yield 8 rolls. If you would like a bigger quantity, simply double or triple the recipe. The proofing time will not change.
As a Latina, condensed milk is part of our basic pantry and we use it for savory and sweet recipes. We love the versatility of this ingredient.

Condensed Milk Bread Rolls
Ingredients
For the dough
- 3 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon Instant Yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk room temperature
- 1/2 cup Condensed Milk
- 1 Egg large
- 2 oz Butter room temperature, cubed
For the egg wash
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
For the glaze
- 3 tablespoons Condensed Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter room temperature
Instructions
- Sift flour through a fine sieve mesh into a mixing bowl
- Add the rest of dry ingredients into the bowl
- Using a dough hook, on slow speed, add egg, milk, condensed milk to drymixture and mix until cohesive dough starts to form, about 1 minute
- Use rubber spatula to scrape downsides of the bowl if necessary
- Increase speed to medium-low, add butter, one piece at a time, and mixuntil butter is fully incorporated
- Continue to mix the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 2minutes. Make sure there is no dry flour remains on the bottom of the mixing bowl. Do not add more flour to the mixture because the dough islightly wet
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased large mixing bowl and use yourhand to knead the dough a few times to form a smooth round dough
- Turn the smooth dough seam side down. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rise untilit is double in size, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Do not rush this proofingprocess or you’ll end up with heavy, not fluffy rolls
- In a mean time, grease your baking pan
- When the dough is ready punch down the dough and carefully transfer it to a lightly-floured counter. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces (about 2.6 ~ 3 oz each)
- Work with 1 piece of dough at a time.Cover the rest with plastic wrap if you need sometimes to form each small dough
- Stretch the dough by using your fingers and pinch the edges together atthe bottom to form a smooth dough
- Place the dough seam side down back on the counter and use your hand todrag it in small circle to create a smooth round ball
- Then transfer the round ball, seamside down, to an already greased baking pan. Repeat for theremaining pieces
- Arrange them nicely in the pan then lightly cover with plastic wrap and let them rise until almost double insize. Make sure they don’t rise above the rim of the pan
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Gently brush dinner rolls with eggwash mixture and bake from 25 to 30 minutes, rotate the panhalf way.
- Dinner rolls should have a deep orbright golden-brown crust, depends on your references.
- When the rolls are done baking, take them outand let them cool down for 5 minutes at room temperature. Lightly brush a layerof condensed milk glaze on top of the rolls when they are still warm
- Then let them cool down foranother 30 minutes to an hour before serving. You can serve these rolls warm orat room temperature

For those of us who use packaged yeast, to double the recipe, it would take 3 packages of yeast. Is that right? I know the recipe says 1 Tbsp per recipe. Also, you don’t mention that the liquids should be 110 degrees. Does that not matter in this recipe? I noticed in your other roll recipes you say that it does. Am I reading it incorrectly?
Hi Dale each package has 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast. A tablespoon of yeast is 3 teaspoons. So if you double the recipe you would need 6 teaspoons = 3 packages (or a little less to be exact)
Can you freeze these at the second rise stage for later use?
Yes but they will need to proof at room temperature once you defrost them
Could I make these the day before and refrigerate the dough? And bake the next day?
yes, you can but I find it will give it a yeastie flavor
IS CONDENSED MILK THE SAME AS SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK?
yes!
Can you make these ahead of time and refrigerate before baking next day?
yes, you can but I find it will give it a yeastie flavor
Can I use active dry yeast? And if I can, how many packages will I need to use?
yes, one packet but you will need to activate it with the warm milk first for 10 minutes
Can this be made in a bread machine using the dough setting
yes!
If I don’t have a dough hook, can I make the dough by hand?
Of course! knead until the dough is soft and stretchy
