If you are comfortable with your bread machine and you KNOW that it produces good bread then go for it. In my experience, a lot of bread machines just don't knead bread long enough to produce good gluten formation. However, there are many machines that do a wonderful job so you be the judge on if your specific machine is good enough or not. Follow the recipe but add the ingredients as per the instructions of your machine. Use the dough setting and then continue the recipe as written after the dough has done its first rise.
