Hi Bee! When it comes to toasting dry milk powders, we would recommend spreading the milk powder on a parchment lined sheet pan and baking it at 300 degrees for anywhere from 9-10 minutes, stirring halfway through. You will want it to become nice and golden. Every oven bakes a bit differently, so just keep an eye on it and remove it when it reaches the proper color. How much to toast is really dependent upon the size of the pan being used and how much is needed for a particular recipe. We would likely refrain from toasting very small amounts due to the speed as which it could caramelize. Oven toasted milk powder has a fairly long shelf life, with some bakers keeping it for up to a year in a sealed container. We would recommend using it as soon as possible to help maintain its freshness and flavor.
