Do you ever find it difficult to find a new topic for a book? I have found that there are so many cookbooks it almost seems impossible to come up with anything original at this point. Bread baking for example there must be literally thousands upon thousands of books in this category and I am amazed to see more books on the topic get published.

I suppose it takes some imagination and an ability to see what's missing. I've tried to circumvent the problem somewhat by making my books definitive but as you say, in an area such as bread baking, there are already definitive books out there. My advice would be to go a bookstore and see which subject areas are weak and in which you could do a better book. You could also base it on what you do and know best and what your passion is.
