Herman Bread Machine Bread

Mum came up for a visit and brought her Herman with her for a little holiday.
So I decided to eat it.
Since I'm not really big on cake thought I'd try making bread with it, and since I'm lazy I wanted to make it in my bread machine. I adapted a few likely-looking sourdough recipes and turned out a very nice loaf, with a good texture and density, if just a little bit too sweet. Hermans feed on sugar, amongst other things, so they're perfectly suited for cake but not so much for bread.
