The following instructions to make bread were taken from the Household Cyclopedia of 1881:
"Place in a large pan twenty-eight pounds of flour; make a hole with the hand in the centre of it like a large basin, into which strain a pint of brewer's yeast; this must be tested, and if too bitter a little flour sprinkled into it, and then strained directly, then pour in two quarts of water of the temperature of 100 °F (about 40 °C), or blood heat, and stir the flour round from the bottom of the hole formed by the hand till that part of the flour is quite thick and well mixed, though all the rest must remain unwetted; then sprinkle a little flour over the moist part and cover it with a cloth; this is called sponge, and must be left to rise. Some leave it only half an hour, others all night.
"When the sponge is light, however, add four quarts of water the same temperature as above, and well knead the whole mass into a smooth dough. This is hard work if done well. Then cover the dough and leave it for an hour. In cold weather both sponge and dough must be placed on the kitchen hearth, or in some room not too cold, or it will not rise well. Before the last water is put in two tablespoonful of salt must be sprinkled over the flour. Sometimes the flour will absorb another pint of water.
"After the dough has risen it should be made quickly into loaves; if much handled then the bread will be heavy. It will require an hour and a half to bake, if made into fourpound loaves. The oven should be well heated before the dough is put into it. To try its heat, throw a little flour into it; if it brown directly, it will do."

It's on the side of every flour bag.
If you mean the processed kind in bread factories, you take a nutritious, whole grain, grind it until it's fine powder, add things we weren't meant to eat and take out all nutrients in the process.
Only whole grain breads, without hydrogenated oil, are good for you.

The Steps
STEP ONE
Gather your ingredients and equipment. Flour bread board and grease your pans (and bowl, if not using rapid yeast.)
STEP TWO
With a wire whisk, mix sugar, salt, rapid yeast and some flour.
STEP THREE
In a saucepan, bring liquids and butter to 120 to 130 degrees F. or until small bubbles form around edge of pan.
STEP FOUR
Gradually, add warm liquid mixture to flour mixture. Combine with an electric mixer for 2 minutes on medium.
STEP FIVE
With a wooden spoon, gradually add enough flour to form a soft dough. (Be careful not to over add flour.)
STEP SIX
On lightly floured bread board, knead dough until smooth and elastic. About 8 to 10 minutes.
STEP SEVEN
Cover dough with lightly greased plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes. (If using Active Dry yeast, at this point, the dough is placed in a greased bowl. Turn over to grease entire dough ball. Cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise for one hour or so in a warm and draft-free place.)
STEP EIGHT
Divide dough according to recipe directions. If shaping into a loaf, roll out dough into rectangle. Starting at short end, roll tightly like a jelly roll. Pinch seam and ends. Place in pan seam side down. Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap.
STEP NINE
Let dough rise in pan(s) for an hour in a warm, draft-free place.
STEP TEN
Bake dough for required amount of time.
STEP ELEVEN
Remove from pan to wire rack. If loaf unseeded, brush with melted butter. Cool slightly before cutting.
STEP TWELVE
Enjoy!
