Instructions

Warm milk just enough to feel the heat after 4 seconds when you test with your finger
Add sugar
Add instant yeast and mix well
Keep this mixture for proofing for 10 minutes
To a mixing bowl add maida, milk powder and salt, mix well

Dust some maida on the working surface
Take the lumpy mixture onto the working surface, add the butter
Knead the mixture for 15 to 20 minutes
Test the dough through film test
Once the dough is ready, grease a bowl well with oil
Tuck in the dough and shape it to form a ball and place it in the greased bowl
Cover the bowl with a moist cloth and let it rest for about an hour or until the dough doubles in volume
Take out the dough which should have doubled in volume
Take out the dough and place it on a floured work surface with smooth side facing down
Roll gently the dough into an elliptical shape without pressing too much. All the air that is trapped will be removed if the dough is rolled with pressure
Apply some milk onto the edges
Fold the elliptical shaped dough into a bread loaf
Grease the bread mold well with oil
Carefully lift the bread loaf and place it in the mold seam side down
Cover with the moist cloth and allow it to rest for an hour or until it doubles in volume

Once baked, take out from the oven, brush some milk and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes
With the help of a knife, try to loosen the edges and remove the bread from the Mold
Wrap it in the moist cloth and allow it cool down completely
Once cooled, cut them into pieces and enjoy with some jam or make some sandwiches
