Sandwich Bread

So, I'm starting this blog by baking.  Something I have never really tried before, and when I have tried, something I have not been particularly successful at.  Yesterday I tried making a loaf of sandwich bread.  It came out dense and a bit chalky, but it was gone by the end of lunch today with comments of good flavor just bad consistency.  So today I am trying again.  I think I failed because after a spat with my KitchenAid mixer, I kneaded my dough by hand and for not nearly long enough.  Today, my KitchenAid seems to be playing nice.  I am using a recipe I found on the web, http://www.roxanashomebaking.com/white-sandwich-bread-recipe/ a simple basic white sandwich bread recipe.  Today my dough is kneading for 15 minutes, 5 on speed setting 2 (just until it comes to a ball) and 10 on speed 3.  After half an hour rising in a bowl and averting pouched down, it rose for an hour in the bread pan and half an hour in the oven at 375.  Today the bread came out with a much better consistency, and was much more edible!  Still want to make it a bit lighter,.
