Has anyone measured a finished 2 lb loaf from this machine? I'm looking to buy a bread box at the same time and want one that will hold two loaves.

I just measured it, it is 8-5/8" Long X 5" Wide X 5-1/8 Tall, however I have several loaves that have risen higher than the top of the baking pan, and can be as high as 7" tall. Of course by modifying the ingredients, that can be controlled with experimentation. I enjoy my BB-PAC20, it makes a great loaf of bread.

I have tried it only twice. Both times one loaf was OK (but not that great. The other loaf not good. I think with more practice and experimenting it might be OK. Just a guess. Until I have time to play more with it, I am sticking to the 2.5 lb Sweet Bread recipe (minus coconut) which always comes out perfectly.

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.

I came to the same conclusion. Thanks for your input. I still think that the manufacturer should have addressed this problem and done something to correct it. The other machine I had did not have this problem. I only got this because I needed to make larger loaves.

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

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.

sorry, I did not take the measurements before I returned it. It snugly held a single standard loaf of bread.

Leave the cover off for one pound loaf. Obtaining 2 pounds bread loaf with the pan is not impossible depending on density of loaf. The weight is between 1.75-2 pounds.

Hi, Yes, the volume of the bread pan is over 3 quarts. You can bake a 2 lb bread. Since I have this lovely machine, we don't buy bread at all. I also use it for dough. I can highly recommend this bread machine.

it will hold 2 one pound loaves of bread. It will probably hold one 1.5 pound loaf on the diagonal.

Actually the slice is somewhat larger than store bought bread at 4 1/2" X 5" for the 1 1/2 lb. loaf. 2lb loaf would run 4 1/2" X 6". Don't know about the 1lb loaf but would be 4 1/2 X ?.

Yes, we use a breadmaker and it does 2 lb loafs. This one also folds down so you can put it away easily.

I'm not sure what the actual measurements were but a single loaf of bread just fit in it. I really was a very nice looking box, good quality, I just needed something bigger.

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

Has option for 1 or 2lb loafs but it will be dependent on the recipie you are using. However if you go over the 2lbs its liable to overflow.

Hi - I don't have a bread machine, but it is a pretty big bag. I don't know the length on your loaf but I just put a normal loaf of Butternut in there (1 1/4 lbs) and it fit easily. The length still had about 4 inches left and plenty of width. If you loaf is fatter than longer (if that makes sense), you will be fine. The bag itself is really nice - I bake alot and best bag I have found for a variety of baking needs.

Yes, you can make 1 lb. loafs or 1 1/2 lb. loafs. You can cut a 2 lb recipe in half or make the 1 1/2 lb. I make my own recipes up now and usually make all 2 lb loafs. Today I just made a cinnamon bread with cinnamon in the dough then rolled the dough with cinnamon and then topped it off with a cinnamon/sugar shakened on top with an egg white glaze. Turned out so yummy. I usually make 2 one lb loafs and give one to our neighbors and we eat the other. You could freeze the other loaf for later. When I freeze the bread i slice it first then just put it in a zip lock bag into the freezer. Turns out good either way. Yes, you can make 1 lb. loafs or 1 1/2 lb. loafs.
