In a mixing bowl, Combine bread flour, milk powder and salt.

In a medium bowl, Mix sugar and warm water, Sprinkle yeast and slightly stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes until the mixture is foamy. Make sure the water is warm and not hot or else it will kill the yeast.
-
Once the yeast mixture is foamy, Add into the flour mixture then knead until it forms a dough. Add the softened butter little by little while kneading, continue until it becomes smooth and shiny, About 5-10 minutes. It will become sticky at this stage, just knead until the butter is fully incorporated and smooth. Dough may be a bit sticky or tacky after kneading.

Recipe Notes
Note
- You can also use white sugar instead of brown sugar. I use brown sugar so the bread will be more golden brown when cooked.
