     I think there are two secrets to 1 hour bread. The first:  make sure your dry ingredients are mixed well almost sifted (salt kills yeast). The second secret  is mixing all ingredients for 10 minutes.  I have made 1 hour bread twice the first time I thought it looked well mixed after about 5 minutes but it did not raise so well.  The second time I made 1 hour bread I mixed the dough for the full 10 minutes and had better results.
