Add salt and sugar to the flour and mix well.

Add powdered milk to the flour mixture for richness.

Mix in fast action dry yeast directly with the dry ingredients without activating it in water.

Add warm milk and warm water to the mixture and combine the ingredients.

Transfer the mixture to a mixer to build the gluten structure before adding more water.

Add vegetable oil and continue mixing until the dough is smooth and silky.

Perform the window pane test to confirm the dough's readiness.

Oil a bowl and place the dough inside; cover it to rise for about 1 hour depending on the environment temperature.

After about 1 hour, deflate the dough and form it into a tight ball.

Weigh the dough, which should be about 2 kg, and cut it into two equal pieces of 1 kg each.

Lightly flour the bread tins to prevent sticking when baking.

Fold each piece tightly to avoid holes in the bread and pinch the edges to seal properly.

Place the shaped dough into two bread tins and cover them to rise for another 25 to 30 minutes.

Spray the dough with vegetable oil to prevent it from drying out while rising.

After 25 minutes, the dough should be ready to bake.

Preheat the oven to 150°C (about 300°F) and bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes, checking for desired browning.

If a darker crust is preferred, bake for an additional 10 minutes (35 to 40 minutes total).

Once baked, remove the bread from the tins and allow it to cool on a wire rack.
