Put all the ingredients into the mixing bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on slow until the dough becomes smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes). This is the easy way.
If kneading by hand, mix all the ingredients together until they form a dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. This may take 15 minutes and will be a real workout.
Divide the dough into 4 even pieces and mould into rounds. Cover with a clean tea towel and set aside for 15 minutes.
Grease two 25cm loaf tins.
Lightly remould each piece of dough into rounds, bringing them back to their original size and knocking back the gases formed in the process. Place 2 rounds of dough into each tin. Cover with the tea towel and leave in a warm place until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 200°C bake.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from tins onto a wire rack and leave to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
After I made the bread and started to serve it for lunch, I realised that the inside was completely raw, so I would recommend cooking it for at least another 30 minutes.

Can it be made with gluten-free mix?

Yet to make but question.
Why do you not need to proof the the yeast first anymore. I used to make bread years ago and remember that was always part of the process

What happened to cups, teaspoons and tablespoons??
EDMONDS: Great question! Using units for baking (grams and mils) will give you the most exact measurements, giving you more consistent, great bakes.
