WHat could be the reasons for my bread to be too dense? It tastes like
it contains too much flour, although I used the amount the recipe
called for. Is it a problem that I didn't sift the flour? I used
regular nonbleached flour to make the bread.

Could it be that I kneaded the bread too much?

Chances are, you used cup measurements which are hopelessly inaccurate. A
cup of flour can weigh anything from about 4ounces to about 5.5 ounces. If
you scooped the flour out of the bag rather than using the stir and level
method, you probably used far too much. Have you a set of kitchen scales?

What was the recipe?
