Add 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup powdered milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg to a bowl and mix.

Add 2 packets of yeast and mix again.

In a stand mixer, add 2 eggs and 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water (including 1 teaspoon vanilla extract) and mix.

Gradually add butter (homemade, at room temperature) while mixing.

Knead the dough on speed 3 for about 10 minutes (15 minutes if kneading by hand).

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for an additional 2 minutes.

Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and prepare the bread pan by spraying it with cooking spray and sprinkling flour inside.

Divide the dough into two equal parts, weighing each to ensure they are the same size.

Roll out each piece of dough, fold it, and roll it into a log, pinching the ends together.

Place the log in the loaf pan, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and place a dish of water inside to create steam.

Bake the bread for 45 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a cooling rack for about 30 minutes before slicing.
