Bread

Basic - Baking Ingrediments
Yeast. Yeast is the heart of the bread-making process. ...
Flour. Wheat is the most common type of flour used in bread baking. ...
Liquids. Water. ...
Sweetener like Vanilla.
Sugar adds flavor and rich brown color to a bread's crust. ...
Salt. ...
Eggs. ...
Fat or butter

From here, it's just a matter of flavor I'm trying to get. Try adding:
Cinnamon
Raisins
Brown sugar
White sugar
More eggs
Vanilla
Cooking at a lower heat (maybe 5*) for a longer period of time
The main thing is to consider options by adjusting volumes of ingrediments or changing the ingrediments.

This is method #1:
Ingrediments:
In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and then stir in yeast.
Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam, usually about 5 minutes.
Mix salt and oil into the yeast. ...
Knead dough for 7 minutes. ...
Punch dough down. ...
Bake at 350* for 30-40 minutes.
Cool, brush with butter and enjoy!

This is method #2:
Directions:
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups flour.
Beat until smooth.
Stir in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 8-10 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface;
divide dough in half. Shape each into a loaf. Place in two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans.
Cover and let rise until doubled, 30-45 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
