I use this recipe all the time.
Crusty French Bread
This recipe produces two crusty and chewy loaves that are so very good and so much better than store bought.
2 loaves 50 min 20 min prep
2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
5-5 1/2 cups bread flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water (110 degrees) and sugar in large bowl; allow yeast to proof or foam (about 10 minutes).
Add salt, oil, and 3 cups flour; beat for 2 minutes.
Stir in 2 cups flour to make a stiff dough.
Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Place in oiled bowl, turn dough to coat all sides, cover and let rise until doubled.
Punch down and divide in half.
Shape dough into two long slender loaves.
Grease and sprinkle with cornmeal either a french bread pan or large cookie sheet.
Place loaves in pan and cut diagonal gashes on top of each loaf
Cover and let rise until doubled.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes.
Note: You can sprinkle or spray water on the loaves during baking if you want a really crunchy crust

On the back of most packets of yeast, you'll find a recipe.
Most are very simple. You let the yeast bloom (get all airated and fizzy) in warm water with some sugar. Then add it to the flour and the oil and such-- just follow the recipe on the back of the packet. You just have to mix by hand or in a mixer. :) let it rise and then form into the bread shape you want and bake!
Very simple and your house always smells good. You can also find recipes online at:

Country White Bread
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6-1/2 to 7 cups all-purpose flour
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, salt, eggs, oil and 3 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Divide in half and shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves.

There are some bread recipes that use baking soda and baking powder instead of yeast. Those are typically easier to make.

Lots of cookbooks have sections on bread. It can be tricky though, so maybe you can find a 1-night class at your local adult ed?
