For years I made one bread. Challah.  In about ten days I taught myself the rest.  I do not like cookbooks or even instructions. If I don’t do it myself, I don’t learn. 
My wife maintains a copy of the bread bible so I admit, I gleaned important tips from Rose.
I don’t measure anything with any accuracy.  I bake entirely by feel.
My first sour dough and pumpernickel are remarkably good.  Bagels and bialys too.  All I have left is Eastern European Rye and baguette and my bread arsenal will be complete. 
Thanks Rose.  Roybert, the anti-cookbook cook. Visit my food and music at RoybertsInSite.blogspot.com
