Ingredients for Sweetened Condensed Milk Rolls

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious Sweetened Condensed Milk Rolls:

1 teaspoon sugar – Just a touch to kickstart the yeast magic and balance the sweetness.

1 cup lukewarm water – This is the perfect temperature to activate your yeast without shocking it.

1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) fast-acting “instant” yeast – The superstar that makes these rolls rise high and fluffy, no waiting around for this one.

⅔ cup sweetened condensed coconut milk – Adds that delightful coconut flavor and sweetness, transforming ordinary rolls into an indulgent treat.

1 ½ tablespoon coconut oil, melted and at room temperature – Keeps the rolls moist and adds a subtle tropical flavor.

1 teaspoon fine sea salt – Enhances all the other flavors, creating a well-rounded taste.

3 ¼ cups bread flour, plus more for dusting – The backbone of our rolls, providing the necessary structure and chewiness.

1 tablespoon sweetened condensed coconut milk diluted with 2 to 3 teaspoons water – This sweet glaze will give your rolls a beautiful finish and extra coconut goodness.

How to Make Sweetened Condensed Milk Rolls

Follow these simple steps to prepare this delicious Sweetened Condensed Milk Rolls:

Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a stand mixer bowl, dissolve the sugar in ⅓ cup of the lukewarm water. Sprinkle the instant yeast on top and stir gently. Let it sit for about three minutes until it gets all frothy and bubbly, which means your yeast is primed for action.

Step 2: Mix the Dough
Add the remaining ⅔ cup of water, sweetened condensed coconut milk, coconut oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Using the paddle attachment, mix on low speed for about 15 seconds. Don’t worry; it will be a bit messy. Then pause to add the flour. Mix again on low for about a minute until you see a shaggy dough forming. Let it sit uncovered for five minutes—the dough needs to gather itself.

Step 3: Knead the Dough
Grease a medium or large bowl with coconut or regular oil. Attach the dough hook to your stand mixer, and knead the dough on medium speed for several minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If you’re feeling brave, you can also do this by hand—just transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until it feels really nice and stretchy.

Step 4: Let it Rise
Place your dough in the greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot until it’s doubled in size, about one hour. If you want a flavor boost, let it rise overnight in the fridge. Just make sure to bring it back to room temperature before shaping.

Step 5: Shape the Rolls
Grease a 9-inch square baking pan! If you like, you can line the bottom with parchment paper. Once risen, punch down the dough, and fold in the corners toward the center. Flip it over, cover it again, and let it rise for another 45 minutes to get even fluffier.

Step 6: Bake the Rolls
Turn your dough onto a floured surface and divide it in half. Roll each half into a rope about 1 ½ to 2 inches wide and cut it into six pieces. Shape those pieces into balls by tucking the sides toward the center and placing them seam-side down in your greased pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let them rise again until they double in size, about one hour. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) about 15 minutes before baking. Brush the tops of the rolls with half of the diluted sweetened condensed coconut milk for a shiny, sweet finish. Bake these beauties for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a rack for five minutes, then brush with the remaining mixture for that final touch of sweetness. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes before digging in.

Enjoy these Sweetened Condensed Milk Rolls warm or toasted! What better way to experience the delightful aroma and texture than fresh from the oven? Trust me, your kitchen will be the place to be, with everyone asking, “What’s that heavenly smell?” Happy baking!

Perfecting Sweetened Condensed Milk Rolls Cooking Process

To achieve the best results, start by activating your yeast while the water and coconut milk warm slightly. Mix dry and wet ingredients separately, then combine to form your dough efficiently. Knead well for that perfect roll texture.

Add Your Touch to Sweetened Condensed Milk Rolls

Don’t be afraid to play around! Swap in almond milk for a nutty twist, or add some vanilla to your dough for an extra flavor layer. You might also try infusing your rolls with fresh herbs for a savory surprise.

Storing & Reheating Sweetened Condensed Milk Rolls

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For reheating, pop them in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes to bring back their delightful fluffiness.

It reminds me of the time I made these Sweetened Condensed Milk Rolls for a family gathering. Everyone raved about them, and I ended up sharing the recipe more than once!

Method

 

Preparation

1. In a stand mixer bowl, dissolve the sugar in ⅓ cup of the water. Sprinkle on the yeast, stir to combine, and let sit for about 3 minutes.
2. Add the remaining ⅔ cup water and the sweetened condensed coconut milk, coconut oil, and salt. Using the paddle attachment, run the machine on 'stir' or low for about 15 seconds to combine. Pause and add the flour. Run the machine on low for about 1 minute, or until a shaggy dough forms. Let sit uncovered for 5 minutes.
3. Grease a medium or large bowl with coconut or regular oil and set aside.
4. Remove the paddle attachment and attach the dough hook. Run the mixer on medium for several minutes to combine the dough into a smooth, elastic dough. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 1 minute to form a smooth round shape.
5. For hand kneading, combine the ingredients in a large bowl using a sturdy spatula and stir in the flour. Rest the shaggy mixture, then knead in the bowl, and when it comes together, transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. Put the dough into the greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, fold the corners to the center, flip the dough over, recover, and let rise again for about 45 minutes. Alternatively, refrigerate overnight and bring to room temperature before shaping and baking.
7. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan. Optionally line the bottom with parchment paper.
8. Turn the dough onto the work surface, cut in half. Shape one half into a rope about 1 ½ to 2 inches wide and cut crosswise into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and tuck the edges toward the center. Place seam side down in the baking pan, arranging them in rows. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
9. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350°F about 15 minutes before baking. Brush with half of the diluted sweetened condensed coconut milk.
10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown on top. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes before brushing with the remaining diluted sweetened condensed milk. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes before removing from the pan.
