In the large bowl of an electric mixer, combine the water and the milk powder and stir so the milk dissolves. Add the yeast to this mixture then the sugar, salt, butter, egg and 2 cups of the flour. Mix for 2 minutes. Add 2 more cups of flour then mix on low speed until the ingredients are wet, then turn mixer on medium speed and mix for 2 minutes. The dough will be getting stiff and you may need to remove the bowl from the mixer and mix in the remaining flour by hand.

Add approximately 1/2 cup of flour and mix again. (This can be done by hand or mixer) The dough should be soft, not overly sticky, and not stiff (It is not necessary to use the entire amount of flour) Scrape the dough off the sides of the bowl and pour approximately one TBsp of vegetable oil all around the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough over in the bowl so it is covered with the oil (This helps prevent the dough from drying out) Cover with plastic and allow to rise in a warm place until double in size.
