Once you beat a bread recipe into submission and learn to make it right every time, you won't go back to store bought.

It's taken me four months of trying, but by jove I think I've got it.

Practice, practice, practice. Good for you.

I spent 3 years on my own as an amateur cook learning bread, and doing ok. I spent the baking semester soaking the Instructor Chef for everything I could get. I finally worked out a recipe that works very well for me in the fall/winter/spring here in N.Texas.

Every place is a little different, and everyone's tastes/needs are a little different.

When I cooked bread for the 301st AT in Wyoming, at 6000 ft.... I had to listen to the baker there that had been doing it, 4.0 in school or not.
