Powdered Milk Bread: 3 Ingredients

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered milk and all-purpose flour.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Place on Baking Sheet: Transfer the shaped loaf onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

This simple powdered milk bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or enjoying on its own with a pat of butter. It’s quick, easy, and requires minimal ingredients, making it a convenient option for homemade bread. Enjoy!
