Assalamualaikum....
A call to a few articles about dangerous ingredients in the white bread on the market some time ago, here'a a White Bread recipe for you to try. Fairly simple. The taste is much better than the all branded breads on the shelf and IMPORTANTLY it's much healthier...

White Bread
Ingredients:
2 cups of warm water - 1 1/2 cups of hot water + 1/2 cup of cold water
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon of active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
6 cups of bread flour - sifted (or All Purpose Flour)
Directions:
1.In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in the yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam (about 10 minutes).
2. Mix salt and oil into the yeast.
3. Mix in flour, a cup at a time.
4. Knead dough on lightly floured surface until smooth (alternatively knead in the same bowl)
5. Place in a well oiled bowl and allow to rise until doubled in bulk.
6. Punch dough down, knead for few minutes and divide in half. Shape into loaves and place into two well oiled 9x5 inch loaf pans (about 1 hour or until dough has risen 1 inch above the pan).
6. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
InsyaAllah.
Alternatively, you may add raisins, apricots or any sorts about 1/4 cup and just add a couple of tablespoon of water to get a smoother dough. Sugar can be added up to 2/3 cups to convert this White Bread into Sweet Bun.
