Bread making advice needed :)

I’ve been learning how to bake bread with yeast this year. Often I find that my bread turns out quite dense instead of chewy and soft (see the sandwich bread photo below). Does anyone have any advice on how to improve homemade bread’s texture? 

Any tips and/or beginner friendly bread recipes would be much appreciated! :)

@unun is a pastry expert, any advice on bread?

thanks for tagging me bert! it looks like you’re not getting great gluten formation — are your loaves passing the windowpane test?
