Mix all the dry ingredients (bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and baking powder) in the bowl of the stand mixer.
Add the tofu, right from the package. No need to wash or rinse.
Start to knead the dough at a low setting (speed 2) for about a minute. Add water 1 Tbsp at a time, or as much as needed, until all the ingredients are JUST combined, with dry ingredients remaining.
Note: Additional 1-2 Tablespoons of water (or additional bread flour) may be necessary than what's called for in the recipe, depending on the protein content of the flour, the water content in the tofu, as well as the humidity and temperature of the kitchen.
Add the olive oil next, and continue to knead for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the dough pulls away from the bowl and forms a smooth, supple ball.
Remove the finished dough from the mixer bowl and place in a lightly greased bowl.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 60-90 minutes***
When the dough is ready, punch down the dough then remove from bowl. Place on a generously floured surface and divide into 10-12 equal sized pieces. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel, and set aside.
