Bread maker

I have one I used to use all the time, until I found out how many carbs were in one slice of the stuff I was making. My question is this, since I have the potential to put almost anything in my bread maker, how and what could I add to make it worth using again? It was a Mother's Day pressie a couple of years ago and the OH is a bit miffed that I don't use it. It's capable of making a range of things, some things I wouldn't try even if I wanted to, mainly because it's all majorly sweetened stuff. But it's good for pizza bases (you know what's in them) and bread rolls. Im thinking I could add whole grains, fruit, some nuts and seeds and other things. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate them. Donna

I think it's better if you make it yourself as you know what's in there and can adjust the recipe for personal preferance... t -------------- Tim I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self. - Aristotle You have the power to change a life right in your own hands. - Paul Brandt

This is how I found many of mine, go to yahoo search and type in: whole grain breadmaker recipes and you will have so many to try you won't know what to do with them. I am going to experiment using Splenda on some, many of these recipes call for a bit of honey.

Now all I have to do is find out how to stop it tasting so damn yummy when it's just been removed. Fresh and hot, mmmm my mouth is watering already! Donna
