Got a good Bread Recipe?

I am looking for a good Whole Wheat or White Bread recipe. I dont have a Bosch machine and my kitchenaid has a hard time with the dough so I have to make the bread by hand.

If you have a good recipe and or some good tips and would love to share it with me I would be so very Grateful!
