When making a typical homemade bread recipe would this pan be for 1 loaf or 2? Is a typical homemade loaf 1 lbs. or 1.5 lbs?

One loaf, recipes I've followed have been perfect for this pan. Not sure on the weight of a homemade loaf, I've done Straun which is pretty dense and also banana bread which is a small fraction of Straun's weight.

All my recipes are different but, most of them (using 5-6 cups flour) make 2 nice loaves in these 1.5 lb. pans. I prefer bigger loaves for sandwich making.

This machine will mix a 2 pound batch of dough, which can be made into 2, 1 pound loaves baked in your oven. A 2 lb loaf (4 cups of flour)baked in this machine is very tall, too tall for most toasters. A better option is to bake a 1 1/2 pound loaf (3 cups of flour). You can prepare a 1 lb dough for rolls or pizza, but 1 lb won't bake well as a loaf in this machine because the pan is too long to enable the dough to spread out and bake well.

The recipe that I use calls for 4 1/4 cups of flour. However I split the dough and use in two of said Loaf pan.

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.

The recipes in the manual call for up to 5 cups of flour. It has settings for 1 pound, 1 1/2 pound, and 2 pound loaves for smaller recipes.

It depends on the size sandwiches you want, the one pound loaf makes about the right size for me, it makes a two pound loaf also which may suit you better. Have fun with your bread machine, I do.

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.

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

Jeanette- I bought the 5 qt. and have made bread as the perfect size for his recipe. The pan is quite heavy and the larger size you are asking about would be to big. I think... Happy baking, his bread is the best!

My recipe is for a 2 pound gluten-free loaf of bread, and this pan is perfect. The crust bakes to a crispy, golden brown. I would think that a 1 1/2 pound loaf would also work in this pan. You could try a smaller 1 pound loaf, but it would probably not have the height that my 2 pound one does.

I can fit a 2 lb loaf in it. A bit of end does hang over but not enough to cause the loaf to fall apart. Im may depend on the machine pan or loaf pan size as well. My loaf isnt long.I love my slicing guide. Best investment besides the bread machine :)

1/2 your recipe goes in one pan and the other 1/2 goes in the other pan. 1 full 2 lb loaf recipe fill both sides.

Not being a baker myself, I really can't definitely say. Per my research, these should more than qualify. An 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 seems to be rated as a "1 pound" loaf pan. Hope this helps. BTW, there are 4 of these available. I love fresh bread! (way too much for my waistline though, LOL.)

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.

It is a 2lb loaf pan and it smaller than a regular loaf pan in the stores. Its great for baking . I'm very happy that I brought this product because when I received my order the pans were each stacked in a box which there were no damage. The product of the loaf pan is very durable & heavy duty quality for using. The price of these pans is worth buying compared going to the store. I'm happy that I bought this product and I would buy it again.
