Hi Liz, For 1 frozen bread loaf it takes 2 bread canisters. I'm not sure how much a frozen bread loaf weighs. The instructions also say when using bread machine, follow those instructions and then follow frozen bread instructions (using 2 bread canisters). I hope that helps

I believe that would fill two molds - I use one package/tube of french bread (from the grocery store) for each bread mold, and I believe the packages/tubes from the grocery store are approximately 11-16 oz each.

Hi Patdownsouth! Thanks - I did end up buying it and am quite happy with it. You're right, there are some major errors with some of the recipe (check out that water content for the 1lb raisin bread) and I'm still looking for a really good whole wheat recipe with seeds/nuts. The two paddles do work well. Mine does have three settings (1-1.5lb, 2lb, and 2.5lb) and it beeps in the middle of the cycle (which is not in the manual, and I need to look next time it does to figure out where in the cycle it is) and I assume that's for adding nuts/seeds/fruit. It is definitely much better than my 14 year old Zo! Hi Patdownsouth! Thanks - I did end up buying it and am quite happy with it.

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.

2lbs. works fine, but how much yeast rise are you looking for ?What knid of bread are you making ?By the way, I don't use the sliding lid; get a nice rounded top on the loaf.

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.

We've had our Breadman for several years now and are very pleased with the results. I think the model we have will only do a one pound or one and a half pound loaf.

I use fresh ground whole wheat for all my bread. The recipe for 2 loaves will vary some each batch, but total weight will average 43 to 44 ounces. I divide and make two loaves. I did have to re-season as they wanted to stick on the sides. I used lard to season. Also had to increase my oven temperature to 375 from the normal 350.

Actually, I used a regular hand mixer and baked it in a regular loaf pan. I didn't use a stand mixer, nor the bread machine. I might try the bread machine the next time, but my way was easier. Turned out great! Did that answer your question?

Yes, we recommend using the wheat setting for pumpernickel bread. You can convert any bread recipe to this bread machine if you do not exceed the recommended amount of flour. For this 2 pound bread maker we recommend no more than 4 cups of flour.

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.

Sorry I have not made rye bread yet - I bake only LOW CARB BREAD It's hard to find Low carb bread recipesbut just yesterday I got a new book "Bread and Breakfast" By Diana Lee from Amazon and It's ALL Low carb RecipesOne of the best features of this bread machine is the optional dual pan that allows you to bake 2 one pound loaves of DIFFERENT KIND at a time.J.H.

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.

My first loaf came out only 3 inches high -- I followed the instructions to the mark. I read a post on a tip website and so the 2nd loaf I added VERY warm water as opposed to regular warm, added a 2nd half packet of yeast, and chose the gluten free setting on my bread maker and the dark crust setting (Pamela says NOT to use the Gluten Free setting) -- anyway -- 2nd loaf came out MUCH better than the first. I'm not really thrilled with this bread.

I'm having this problem. My old bread maker which was Oster also did a much better job. This Oster bread machine was smaller but made a 2 lb. loaf the price was right so I bought it. I'm using the recipe book but not having success. The first loaf of raisin bread I was pleased with. The second loaf I made the machine did not cook the loaf until it done. I don't understand it has to be the machine !

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.

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~!!@
