Spray or grease a 400 grams box loaf tin with baking spray or margarine/butter.

In a mixing bowl, add 7 grams of fresh yeast and 1 cup of lukewarm water.

Add sugar to the bowl and stir until combined, waiting for yeast to activate if necessary.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, all-purpose flour, and milk powder to the bowl.

Stir until a shaggy dough forms, then transfer to a countertop and knead for 2-3 minutes.

If dough is wet, sprinkle in extra flour while kneading.

Transfer dough to a bowl, add margarine or softened butter, and knead for an additional 2 minutes until combined.

Knead until a soft and fluffy dough forms, about 4-5 minutes total kneading time.

Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough to remove excess air and knead for 1 minute.

Flour the countertop and roll the dough into a log, pinching the ends to seal.

Place the dough into the greased loaf tin and cover with the lid.

Bake the bread for 20 minutes at 180°C (356°F).

If not golden brown, bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Once baked, let the bread cool slightly before slicing.
