I will give you a basic dough recipe which you can use into generic breads like  rolls, pandesal, spanish breads, bread with fillings and even ensaymada.

So if you are looking for bread that tastes like breadtalk here it is--

BREAD DOUGH 

Ingredients: 

A. 
     240 g  Breadflour
       60 g  All-purpose flour
       40 g  Sugar
         5 g  Instant yeast

B. 
         1 pc     Whole egg
      150 ml   Fresh milk

C.   30 g  Unsalted butter


Procedure:

1. Place A in a bowl (stand mixer). Using dough paddle (hook), blend the ingredients until  incorporated. Then add B and knead for 5 minutes. This is how it would look like after 5 minutes--

3. Roll dough into a ball, return to the mixing bowl and cover with cling wrap.
Then, proof dough for 1 hour.

An hour is just enough to double the size of the dough.

Afterwards, punch dough at the center, take it out of the bowl and divide it into 30 grams each and mould as desired. 

4.  Place the moulded dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let it rest for another hour before baking.
