Bread fail (again)

Looks like a brick, and when I hit Oliver with it he said "ow".
Bread is always a fail for me.  I think I must offend the dough somehow, but at what part of the breadmaking process I have no clue.  Maybe I offend the dough during the kneading, when I put my hands in all of its little pudgy crevices.  Maybe during rising when I either shove it in the oven before the yeast has fully performed its duty, or leave it too long languishing in a hot room until it starts to fall, defeated.

Someday I will figure this out, and then I will be a bread MASTER.

I think it's probably the yeast. My in-laws babble on and on about the bread that they make and how it was almost always a bread fail until they invested in some sort of thermometer that understood the yeast's needs. Too warm and it dies, too cool and it doesn't wake up, or some nonsense like that. I would bet that google has some good ideas on how to make nice with the yeast.
