I used to use my Cuisinart food processor to make bread dough using the
plastic dough blade. FPs are very fast and efficient for smaller quantities
of dough but they heat it very quickly so you must not knead it too long.

Put the dry ingredients in the bowl and with the motor running, pour in the
water in a steady stream ( a cup should take about 45 secs). When the dough
comes together, carry on kneading for about one minute. If you don't want
the gluten to develop too much, stop the machine as soon as the water is
absorbed.
