Question about powdered milk

My breadmaker recommends using nonfat powdered milk instead of regular milk, so I bought a box at the store. If the recipe calls for 1 cup of milk, do I just put in the amount of powder that would make 1 cup, or do I mix the powder with water to make a liquid cup of milk and add that? I don't think it's supposed to be this complicated, I'm just having a brain-freeze moment...

Usually a recipe makes it clear whether it's reconstituted milk-liquid made with powder and water-or just the powder. I'd be made at a recipe that wouldn't give that hint! My assumption would be that you need liquid made milk.

If the recipe has water or some other liquid as an ingredient, then you probably don't need to reconstitute the milk. If there is no other liquid ingredient, then you probably do. Depending on the specific recipe and the size of the loaf, my bread machine needs about 1 to 1-2/3 cups of a liquid.
