Anyone in a breadmaker rut?!

[clarabellarocks]

We got ours at Christmas and I love it but do tend to stick to wholemeal and white loaves.

Anyone do anything more inspiring?

Also, this may sound a silly question, but can you make a recipe meant to be done by hand but just shove it in your breadmaker and do the whole function including bake?

We make cakes and jam in ours (well DH does , it's his toy). Also different kinds of rolls, and french sticks - I got a special baking rack for them (Lakeland). Have you got any breadmaker recipe books for inspiration? I got a couple also from Lakeland which are quite good.

i make pizza bases in mine and batch make and freeze the tomatoe sauce.

i also mix wholemeal / white flour
