Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered milk and all-purpose flour.
- Add Water: Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, mixing as you pour. Continue adding water until a soft dough forms. You may need slightly more or less water depending on the humidity and the absorbency of your flour.
- Knead the Dough: Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour as needed while kneading.
- Shape the Loaf: Shape the dough into a loaf by rolling it out into a rectangle and then tightly rolling it up from one end to the other. Pinch the seams and ends to seal.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Transfer the shaped loaf onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
- Let it Rise: Cover the loaf with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 30-45 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
- Bake: Once the dough has risen, place it in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
