Does it or doesn't it make a 1-pound loaf? The description here (and on the Salton website) says it makes 1, 1 1/2, loaves yet one reviewer said it doesn't and no one else ever mentions making a one-pound loaf. I called Salton and the person I spoke to said it doesn't (but she didn't sound very certain). So, does it or doesn't it? Thanks. Does it or doesn't it make a 1-pound loaf?

This is what it says on the Amazon website: "Programmable bread machine bakes 1, 1-1/2, and 2-pound horizontal loaves" If that isn't true, I'd like to be sure before I purchase it. Since what I'm looking for is the ability to make a small loaf, that is important to me.

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..

Depending upon the size of your loaf the bread can be "regular" sandwich size, however, you must slice the bread into slices. You may slice them thick or thin depending on your preference. Some cooking stores have a gizmo that holds the bread while you slice through the slats if your aren't able to slice it well enough on your own. The one pound loaf is closer to a "normal" size loaf. I like it because it stays fresher than the 2 lb loaf would. I just can't eat it all in a short amount of time.

I found the best is to use a 1 pound recipe. I like the double pan because I can make two different kinds fo bread at a time.

Hitachi has an online recipe book. The 'regular' loaves are 1 lb loaves, the large are 1.5 lbs and most of those are really tasty~!!@

So, I came here asking that same question, but upon inspection, I still don't have a concrete answer. Some are saying 1 loaf; others say 2 and even 3! Unless it CERTAINLY comes with 3 loaves, this bread is cheaper by the loaf to buy at my local health food store. Sorry, Amazon.

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.

I have been using it since last summer- 1 2 pound loaf a week! I love it. I also made jelly twice. Everything is perfect as far as I am concerned. I substitute half of bread flour with whole wheat and replace eggs and milk with orange or apple juice in same quantity. This takes care of my little guys food allergies and the bread is still amazing!

I am not absolutely sure, but it could be due to some of your ingredients! Be sure to follow the recipe measurements and instructions exactly, and use what they recommend. It calls for bread flour, I have had success with using regular flour, but stick to what is called for and see if it makes any difference (if you are using something else) it could also be the yeast. make sure it is fresh and not outdated It doesn't sound like it is the machine, as you say the bread is baked. I also had a bad loaf when I first started, it was when I made the 2 lb. loaf, it came out heavy and did not rise so I made sure I followed the recipe exactly and my ingredients were fresh and I stuck to the 1 and 1/2 lb recipe and it has worked fine every time. Hope this helps!!

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 have not used this, but the setting for gluten free is number 4 on the menu button, and the recipe in the manual is for 1 1/2 lb only, and that is the small loaf. To choose the small, press the lb. button, and you will see a triangle, or arrow, shape. Press again, and it will move. For the small loaf, place the arrow on the left, for a large loaf, place the arrow on the right. There are only those two options. Good luck! [It gets easier]

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.

I use about 1/4 cup for a one pound loaf. Actually, it says on the can to use a certain percentage of the weight, but I don't have a kitchen scale, so I just use 1/4 cup. That would be 1/2 cup for you. Let us know how your bread turns out.

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 Amy, It may have been a typo you read? It should say one as in quanity..1 roast that is a 5 lbs. That is how we read it and exactly what we received which by the way was AWESOME!!!!! :)It will easily feed you all too! Hope this helps and hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Should also be able to inquire through the Co. where it originates from also. Good luck to you.

Have you found any alternative? I just started looking into purchasing a bread maker and I'm stuck in the same quandry. I avoid non-stick at all costs, but I can't seem to find a machine without it. Please let me know if you found anything. Thanks! Lyndi
