Use instant active dry yeast and include with the dry ingredients in the processing bowl. Do not process a mixture with more than 3 cups/450g flour. Add softened, cubed butter and process using the ON button until the butter is absorbed into the flour. If using oil, with the motor running, add the oil through the food chute and process until the mixture forms a soft, elastic ball of dough. Do not over process.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 20 minutes or until soft and pliable. Place dough into large, greased mixing bowl and stand covered in a warm place until doubled in size. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead again until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough, allow to rise in a warm area then bake in a hot oven.
