→ For Brushing

10 - Mix 1 beaten egg with a tablespoon of water for a glaze

# Instructions:

01 - Grab a big bowl and mix together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. In a smaller bowl, blend the warm milk, condensed milk, softened butter, egg, and warm water until it’s smooth.
02 - Gradually stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, using a spoon or your hands. Keep working it until you’ve got a sticky, unified dough.
03 - Move the dough to a floured surface and knead it for 8 to 10 minutes until it’s elastic and soft. If you’ve got a stand mixer, use the dough hook and knead it for 5-6 minutes instead.
04 - Make a dough ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with a damp towel and leave it in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until it has doubled in size.
05 - Deflate the dough carefully, then split it into 8 to 10 sections. Shape each piece into a small ball and place them together in a greased 9-inch pan so they touch lightly.
06 - Cover the pan again and let the rolls puff up for 30-40 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F while they rise.
07 - Brush the tops with the egg glaze, then bake for 20-25 minutes. They’re ready when they’ve got a golden look and sound hollow if you tap the tops.
08 - Let the rolls cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a rack to finish cooling off. Serve warm or at room temp—you’ll love them!

# Notes:

01 - You can let the dough rise slowly overnight in the fridge if prepping ahead.
02 - The rolls will stay good in an airtight container for 3 days, or up to 3 months if frozen.
03 - For a sweeter twist, toss in some raisins, coconut, or chocolate chips.
