Baker’s Dozen: Easy Oat Bread

We don’t own a bread machine. Call me old-fashioned if you will, but I like to make my bread by hand. When I lived at home in England with my parents they had a bread machine. It made good bread, but I always thought the loaves ended up being quite similar no matter which recipe…
