Bread baking for dummies?

I used to make the best breads and rolls for the holidays, but I haven’t done any baking for about 20 years and I lost my really good bread recipe book. I got a recipe off the website that was on the yeast package and thought I would give it a try and it turned out horrible. (I bought Fleischmann’s Rapid Rise Yeast, but I have time to go get something different if I need to.)
What I am trying to make is a fluffy white roll. I used to put cheese and green onions in half of them, and I would glaze the top with egg whites so they would be really shiny and pretty. I would make them by putting three balls of dough in a muffin tin and let it double in size. before baking.
Before you ask, I don’t have a bread machine. I’m willing to knead the dough.
Does anyone have a fairly fail proof recipe for the white bread dough? The ones I made last night just tasted bland and heavy. I am not at a high altitude or anything that should mess things up.
I look forward to being the beneficiary of all the jelly Thanksgiving wisdom!
