Less than a 2 lb loaf: Are the loaves just not as tall?
77338
I read somewhere that the 1 lb loaf doesn't come out well in this machine because there isn't enough dough to knead very well with teh 2 paddles. But a 1 1/2 lb loaf does work well. Zojirushi also makes a mini machine, but it does a vertical loaf.

Hi, The size will vary with the recipe but the average size is half a loaf of bread. Thanks, Joe

I haven't ever had a loaf be too big. Not a problem so far and I use it daily!

I have made only 1lb loaves but it has settings for 1-1/2 and 2 also. Only complaint is setting letters are white on yellow which are hard to see. Makes great bread.

Yes.... I have to only make 2 lb loaves and sometimes I have to squeeze them into. Other than that it is GREAT!

It's about the length of a loaf of bread and just a little wider than a loaf.

Using the full box produces a 1 1/2lb. loaf. My bread machine (horizontal) is meant for a 2lb. loaf but this works fine for me. The first time the loaf was lopsided so now I just check before the final rise and center it in the pan if needed. Fantastic bread, especially if you use coconut oil instead of butter.

We only have 2 people in our house too, and I thought about the smaller Zo but decided against it because it is almost the same price and wasn't quite what I wanted. 1 1/2 lb loaves are just a bit smaller in the machine height wise but come out relatively well. I just made a loaf that came out lopsided, so smaller loaves can be affected by the length of the machine, but the bread was still good. I think with a little extra effort (eg checking the machine after kneading and adjusting the dough if need be) it will make 1 lb loaves just fine. I've decided to try freezing half of my bigger loaves, which should work because I freeze meals ahead of time as well.

I am having the same problem, two loaves, one white one light rye, both collapsed before the bread was done. I am using fresh ingredients, following the recipe exactly and measuring accurately. Since in both cases the bread looks wet and under cooked I will try leaving out some water. I may also cut back a pinch on the yeast as the loaves seem too large for the machine even though I am only making 1.5 pound loaves, not 2 pound.

These pans are quite narrow even though they are long and I think maybe a 2-pound loaf might raise to be pretty big. It is worth a try though.

Yes, my wife makes 1, 1 1/2, and 2 lb loaves. My brother bought the newest one and says it's even better than ours which is three years old. You will love it.

We have not had any problems with the bread being too big. We have a 2# bread maker-so far, so good.

Width can fit 2 loaves but I think you may run into an issue with length of your loaf. I do not have a full loaf of bread to measure and check. Hope that helps.

Without measuring- it seems a little smaller, but not by much. Ive found that in order to yield same size loaves I've had to allow just a little longer rise time. Let it get tall. I also would suggest steam be present during beginning of bake, to get a nice tall oven spring. Loaves will be close to what your used too, just a bit taller. Hope that helps. BTW, the crust makes it worthwhile.

1 1/2 lb size machine turns out a good loaf, with good color. Bread is very good to eat.

This is a wonderful pan...Hold large loaves 1 1/2 to 2 lbs didn't weight the loavesbut would guess it to be about the above weight. I use 5 cups of flour for my whole wheat recipe and it raises beautiful above the pan. Hope this helps.Sqfreund

Of course depending on the size of loaf. I bake a a 1 lb. loaf and it is perfect, when I tried a 1 1/2 lb loaf it worked but was a bit tight. I do really like this slicer because it is small and compact when folded up. You can make slices from very thin to thick.. Hope this helps..
