How to make using a kitchen machine and dough hook
I use my Kenwood Chef for this.

1. Place all the ingredients in the bowl

2. Set the dough hook to the minimum speed to combine and form a soft dough

3. Set a timer for 1 minute and knead on medium speed, then set a timer for 8 minutes and knead on speed 1 until smooth and elastic.

4. Remove the bowl, cover with lightly oiled clear film and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. Using the dough hook on minimum speed for 30-60 seconds gently knead the dough to knock back. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and shape.

6. Place into an oiled loaf tin and cover with oiled clear film and leave to rise for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

7. Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
