I could be wrong, but my very limited experience with bread makers is that they're basically for making loaves more conveniently, since they can mix, knead and bake all in one device. If you've got to remove the dough and form it into buns to bake on a sheet pan anyway, I'm not sure a bread machine has any advantage over a normal stand mixer.
It takes care of the mixing, and rising. It's very "set it and forget it".
Forming buns or a pizza crust out of that dough and tossing that in the oven is a pretty fast part of the process.
Over a mixer maybe not, but I have the machine already and no mixer.
You don't even need a machine or mixer. There is the "artisan bread in 5 minutes a day" book and website. You add flour water yeast and salt, stir it in with a knife or spatula then stir or fold it in with your hands till it is somewhat consistent. They even say don't over mix, the dough will figure it out. Wait two hours. Either boule it up or cut into bun blobs , rise again 40 mins and then bake it. Easiest recipe ever and it tastes amazing.
