Anyone have experience baking batter breads?What are they like?

I am currently a one-handed baker (hand surgery) and soon to be a half-of-one-hand baker (more surgery but on other hand) so handling big items and kneading are out of the question but I can't give up baking.I love my bread too much.

 I recently acquired an old Red Star Yeast baking book that has an interesting chapter on batter breads-savroy,plain and sweet but most made with AP flour. I think I will be able to handle making a batter bread in my KA stand mixer-the hard part will be getting the bowl off the mixing stand and then the dough out of the bowl. But that is what gravity is for. I don't expect to be neat about it.

I have never tasted a yeasted batter bread sandwich loaf before. I'm looking to make a whole grain sandwich loaf and fruited toasting loaf with nuts. Think it is do-able? Looking for comments from people who have made yeasted batter breads (not just tea breads).
