A recipe I want to use calls for 1/2 c. powdered milk but I don't have any. Can I substitute regular milk for the powdered?

You will have to adjust the amount of liquid. Baking bread is more like a formula than a recipe. It has to be followed in order to produce a result and doesn't do well with tinkering.
If you have to take the chance I would reduce the amount of water (assuming you have water in the recipe) by 1/2 cup and use the most similar milk to the recipe that it calls for. Whole milk for whole milk powder, 1%-2% for low fat and skim for skim. The key is going to make sure that the dough seems like it would be the same as a normal dough. Adjustments to the wet (water/milk) and dry (flour) will have to be made on the fly as you are kneading it. Who knows, you may end up with a better recipe!

Depends on the recipe.
