1. Activate the Yeast
Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the instant yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
The water should be warm, not hot.
2. Make the Dough
Add the condensed milk, sugar, melted butter, and salt. Stir until combined.
Gradually add the flour, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Do not knead the dough.
3. Let It Rise
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
Place it somewhere warm and let the dough rise for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it has nearly doubled in size.
4. Shape the Rolls
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
With lightly buttered or floured hands, divide the dough into 12 equal portions and gently shape them into balls.
Arrange them in the prepared pan, leaving a little space between each roll.
5. Second Rise
Cover the rolls again and let them rise for 30–45 minutes, until noticeably puffy.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
6. Brush and Bake
Brush the tops with a little melted butter or beaten egg for a deeper golden finish.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the rolls are puffed and beautifully golden brown.
7. Finish With Butter
As soon as they come out of the oven, brush the tops generously with melted butter.
Let them cool for a few minutes before pulling them apart and serving.
These rolls are best served warm with butter, honey, jam, soup, scrambled eggs, or alongside a hearty dinner. Their soft, slightly sweet center makes them especially irresistible straight from the oven.
