In a mixing bowl, add 520 g of bread flour, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of yeast, and 1/3 cup of milk powder, and mix all the dry ingredients together.

Add 1 fresh egg, 49 g of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and 1/3 cup of water to the dry ingredients.

Gradually add more warm water until a stiff dough is formed, using a total of 1 cup of warm water.

Knead the dough for 30 minutes using a mixer, or manually until soft and stretchy.

Transfer the dough to a buttered working surface and knead for a few more minutes.

Divide the dough into two portions and mold into round shapes.

Roll out the dough to improve gluten structure, then pinch the tips to help it stick together.

Place the rolled dough into greased loaf pans and cover to rise for 2 hours until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 250°C and place a small oven-safe bowl with hot water inside to keep the bread moist.

Bake the bread for 20 to 25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack for 20 minutes, brushing butter on top to keep it moist.
