Baking Bread

I'm totally lost when it comes to yeast breads, but I just found a website dedicated to bread making. It's www.breadnet.net. I think I'm going to try my hand at making bread again. The first time was a total disaster. I'm not so sure about the yeast and how it works (guess I should have paid more attention in chemistry class). I would love to try a new recipe out every weekend, but I'd better not set myself up for failure. I'll just take a look at the list and see what sounds good. I always have my bread machine as a back up :) Wish me luck!
