Do you use a kitchenaid mixer when making homemade bread?

I have two kitchenaid mixers (one is mine one is moms) and I love them. I use them for everything. I also have a very nice bread machine by Cooks Essentials but I only use it on the dough cycle.
I find that doing the mixing of my bread dough in my kitchenaid mixer makes for a more uniform dough that is well blended. So do you use one for bread making?

I have two mixer / blenders, one a cheapy one and the other a Kenwood. I don't use them for my bread machine though as I find that the machine does a good enough job. Mine both have a beep when they have finnished mixing but before they start rising so that you can check all is well at that point.
So if you only use the bread machine for the dough cycle, but don't use it to mix the dough, does that mean you just use it for the raising bit of bread making?

Ok I can see where I have confused this discussion. Sometimes I use my bread machine where it does everything but bake the bread (I like to form my loaves or make rolls) and other times I use my mixer with the dough hook to mix and do everything by hand. I like using my mixer more cause of the consistency of the dough. So I don't use the mixer and bread machine at the same time just two different methods.
sorry for the confusion.

I only have a hand mixer. I usually just use a fork and my hands when I make yeast bread from scratch. Kneading the dough by hand is like a mini work-out, lol. I use my hand mixer when I bake baking soda/powder things like cakes and cookies. :]

My kitchenaids are the big stand mixers so they can handle the bread dough.
