Perfect for breakfast, tea time, or a light snack, this milk bread recipe is specially crafted for families who want a delicious yet nutritious option made with trusted ingredients.

What makes this recipe stand out is the use of Nestlé NESTUM, a nutritious whole‑grain cereal that adds a natural malty aroma, enhanced fibre content, and subtle sweetness to the bread. By incorporating NESTUM into classic milk bread, this recipe elevates a traditional favourite into a more balanced and hearty choice—ideal for both adults and children. The result is a loaf that is soft and fluffy on the inside, lightly golden on the outside, and rich in flavour without being overly sweet.

With simple pantry staples such as flour, milk, yeast, butter, and Nestlé NESTUM, you can create bakery‑quality bread in your own kitchen. The dough is easy to work with, rises beautifully, and bakes into a tender loaf that stays fresh longer—making it perfect for sandwiches, toast, or enjoying on its own.
