The big trick to yeast is mostly just not killing it with too hot of water, and then kneading until the dough is elastic. If it overrises or underrises, the results won't look as pretty but will almost certainly taste fine. My grandmother's bread frequently had collapsed tops instead of nice rounded ones and it was still delicious.
(A plain bread might be easier to start with, though, than fancy cinnamon buns, if you want to experiment with yeasted baking.)

You want to knead your dough until it does the above (let's light shine through).
Alternatively, you could try a biscuit dough. jillbertini has a non-yeasted version you could ask her about. Much quicker than our recipes too.
