Burton recorded an impressive first ever victory against Bradford.
Shaun Harrad fired the Brewers in front from the penalty spot after Lewis Young was brought down in the area by Bantams keeper Jon McLaughlin.
On-loan striker James Collins doubled the lead with a glancing header from an Adam Bolder cross before Russell Penn's neat finish sealed the win late on.
Bradford hardly threatened all game, with a bad miss in the first half by Omar Daley the closest they came.
Burton Albion manager Paul Peschisolido told BBC Radio Derby: "We were disappointed after [losing to] Stevenage. It was a particularly poor performance and I didn't think we had anything on the day.
"So I'm pleased that we're back to what we're good at, which is closing down and to be fair, some of the football we played was, at times, fantastic.
"We were good at keeping possession. The quality of the goals was good and I'm very pleased.
"It was great to have the big man [Darren Moore] back too. I know some people criticise him at times but he's a defender and he'll die for the cause. He gives us another dimension when he's fit."
Bradford manager Peter Taylor told BBC Radio Leeds: "We should have been leading after the first-half, very disappointed to be coming in 1-0 down.
"We've conceded a poor penalty, a poor decision, not by the referee.
"But we weren't too good second-half. We tried to play, but weren't good enough up front at the end of the day."
