Put 3/4 cup of washed rice in a cooking pot and add 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil and cook until the rice is tender but still slightly moist inside. Once cooked, transfer the rice into a large mixing bowl and let it cool for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Yeast Mixture
In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of yeast. Stir well to combine. Pour the yeast mixture over the cooled rice, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and mix thoroughly.
Mix the Dough
Using a strainer, gradually add 3 cups of flour to the rice mixture, preferably 1 cup at a time. Mix well after each addition. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and knead the dough until it is thick but fluffy. Cover the dough with cling wrap and let it rise for 1 hour.
Prepare for Baking
After an hour, add a small amount of oil to the dough and knead it again. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and place the dough in the pan. Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Bake the Bread
Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C). Bake the bread for 50 to 60 minutes, or until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely.
