Can this be used as a regular loaf pan (for bread) without the insert? Have you used it that way?

I've never used it that way, but I don't see any reason you couldn't use it as a loaf pan.

yes you can use it as a loaf pan just take the insert out. I know this is a nonstick pan, but I still spray with non stick cooking spray as a safty precaution.

I have never thought to used it for baking bread.. where do you find recipes?

I use my pan for gluten free baguettes. Without gluten, the bread doesn't expand much and therefore, I do not have this problem. So, I am not sure how it would work with regular gluten bread. However, I do turn my bread half way through baking, as it starts to brown on the bottom, but not the top. Turning it half way through, may help you.

Hi Judith. The insert fits beautifully in the pan. It's loose enough to be easily removed, but snug enough to not slide around. The pan is extremely well designed. Hope that helps.

Mine is not big either. It's a little more than half the pan. And it's not a "fluffy" kind of bread, that's why I use it for toasts. It's small but tasty ;) They make a note about the ratio of water depending the altitude where you live, but I don't know if that would make a difference on the size of the loaf.

I would not preslice the bread its made to hold a whole loaf it has a small cutting board inside that the loaf sits on. If you preslice the bread it would probably cause the bread to spoil faster and be more of a hassle opening and closing. Hope this helps

I use a bread machine and bread machine cookbook for my bread dough. If I make a 2 lb loaf recipe, it's a bit too much for this pan. A 1.5 lb loaf would be better suited.

I did not. I just opened the box, took out the machine, wiped out the bread pan with a damp cloth and then dried it. Then I add all the ingredients for my first loaf and it was fantastic!

yes, when I made it I used a regular baking pan with no problems. I used cooking spray just to be safe on the pan, though.

It has a small paddle and I have never had it get stuck in the machine. When you remove the baked bread from the pan, the paddle will sometimes release along with the bread wnd will have to be removed from the loaf but it's no big deal. I have enjoyed the machine.

Absolutely. I bake bread with this often. I recommend that you place your bread pan on a trivet to help get heat/light onto the bottom of the pan. Just like in your oven at home, you want the bread off the oven floor (on a rack) so that the heat will be even

HI-- My bread came out like a normal loaf-- I did use regular eggs-- and I used whole eggs. I also added a 1/4 cup sugar away from the yeast. My Machine guidelines say to start with all wet ingredients on the bottom of the pan (make sure your water is warm enough) then add the dry ingredients with the yeast on the top on one side of the pan and I put the cup additional sugar on the other. I chose the darker crust option. My bread came out pretty good.

The pan is higher to separate the doughs so they don't stick together i have done my breads and they both come perfect, individually, they do not stick, you do not have to put a non stick coating and they come out crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside of the bread. You may want to cook it less time since the heat is flowing through the bottom as long as the top of the bread has a nice golden color. Happy Baking.

I do not use a bread machine. It has worked great for me with a no knead bread

It's been a while and I'm trying to recall.... I would say you could fit one of those very small loaves (like the super mini ones that you can buy those small loaf pans for). But Make sure it's not too tall (doesn't rise too much) and you can tie off the end really well so it stays mostly air tight. :-)

I do not have a Zo i have an Emeril but yesterday on KA websight I saw a comment about taking dough out just before baking and put it in a regular bread pan and insert it back into the machine. I had several pans and had to check them all but did find one that slid right into pan and baked a beautiful loaf of regular sized bread. Very happy with this idea as I HATE the holes also. Try this.
