Bread making could be simple, it just takes some basic knowledge of how yeast interact with flour and at what condition.
Yeast, active agent
The whole point in making bread is allowing the yeast to be active and do its job on the bread.
To make the yeast active, you would need to warm up water to around 105 to 109 F, too much higher or lower would destroy the yeast or not make them active, either way they would not raise your bread.
Just add water
After you have warmed up some water to mix with your mixture of the flour and the yeast, add the water with the mixture and continue and even mix them in the mixture (liquidity).
Kneading
Now you are ready to add the rest of your flour from your recipe slowly to the yeast mixture and start to knead the bread.
Kneading is required to make the bread stretchy and having the spongy structure to it which we are used to for a bread, so taking your time and doing this step right is what makes your bread (the bread should be stretchy but not break) your signature works.
