I was given a used breadmaker by a neighbor who never used it. I like it for making the dough, which I then turn out and shape into the type and style bread we like. I have made 100%whole wheat, apple cinnamon, French, onion -poppy seed and more. I use either Stone-Buhr or King Arthur bread flour. What I didn't like was that the bread loaves, when baked in the maker, were too big and had to be cut in half, plus the paddle or kneading device at the bottom left a big hole in the bottom of the bread. This is why I use just the dough setting and shape my own loaves.
