Add the bread flour, salt, and oil to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook for 2 minutes to bring the dough together, then increase to medium speed and knead for 8–10 minutes, until the dough is smooth, stiff, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl. If mixing by hand, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10–12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
