I am still new to the whole bread thing.
However, I am an expert at the smothering it with butter and eating a whole loaf of crusty bread in one day thing.
The whole activating yeast, rising and kneading process is still new to me, but it has become a great learning experience.

With cooking I can adjust the flavours, throw some more sauce in, add some more spice. With bread measurements need to be exact and you need time and patience to let the yeast do its thing.
Don't let this intimidate you though, just take your time, know that the bread needs a little more attention than, say, cooking a stir fry would.
In the end, I think you'll be surprised at how simple it is to create, from scratch, a beautiful loaf of whole grain bread. Even if the bread is a little dense, has some brunt sports on top or didn't rise as much as you hoped, it is totally satisfying to eat something that you created with just a few ingredients.
