Joan, make sure you use some salt in your bread, or else it will taste like cardboard.

Blooming your yeast will give it a good head start and adding a touch of sugar will help get it going too. The sugar and salt balance each out.

I made pizza dough once that i added too much salt to. They looked more like tortillas when they came out of the oven!
