Start with warm water around 110 degrees Fahrenheit; add 1/4 cup powdered milk and 1/4 cup melted butter.

Add 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast to the mixture and let it sit to activate.

In a separate bowl, mix 3 cups of flour and 1/4 cup of sugar; make a well in the center.

Pour the activated yeast mixture into the well and mix to form a dough.

Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead for about 5 minutes.

Grease a loaf pan with butter and sprinkle flour inside to prevent sticking.

Place the dough in the greased loaf pan, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for about 2 hours.

After 1.5 hours, knead the dough again for about 1 minute, divide it in half, roll, and pinch to shape.

Cover the shaped dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 350 if using a glass/non-stick pan).

Brush the risen dough with egg for a golden color before baking.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
