i have used the 1 lb settings when doing 2-1 lb loaves. Has come out perfectly.

So far, I use the smaller setting. Have only used it for yeast breads. Quick breads may be different. Note: don't do a savory loaf with a sweet loaf, the flavors kinda mingle. I use the same bread & eat one & freeze one. That works nicely for just the 2 of us.

I can't answer this question since I returned the product to Amazon. I thought the pans were too small.

My recipe calls for 1 1/2 lbs and it is perfect. You could probably do 1 3/4.

I am sorry to hear you are having problems. I finally bought a new BBCCX20 and am thrilled with the improvements they made since my old one. I started with the basic white recipe out of the recipe book and now make whole wheat with more nuts, fruit and cereal than a clif bar and it still handles it all. Some loaves are tall and some are squat but that just depends on what is in them. Is your machine in a draft? I moved mine away from the draft from the back door because one side of the loaf was higher sometimes. The meatloaf is terrific and I make quite a bit of sugar free jam and desserts in it as well.

I believe it's about 3 1/2 hours for 2 lb loaf. There are other options that are faster. I haven't used them yet. By the way love the machine and bread it makes.

I have found many individual recipes online that allow you to input the LB size you want and it converts the recipe. You can also convert any recipe yourself. If a recipe is for 2-lbs....half everything.

I use two pounds. It seemed like a lot at first and so I baked my first couple of loaves w/o the cover - of course, completely defeating the purpose of this marvelous pan (LOL) - which resulted in a l.o.v.e.l.y. crown of a crust. But now I use the cover w/o trepidation and the pan and I achieve a gorgeous-in-the-extreme Pullman loaf - much to the joyous reception from family and friends. Enjoy!

I am not sure, but I make one-pound loaves and they fill the pan on the second rise... I would say no, and maybe cut the recipe in half?

Not the big loaves. When I have big slices of bread (like Pane Turano), I put it in at an angle and then turn it around the other way. Works fine for me.

The Laurels Kitchen Breadbook has recipes for 1, 1.5, and 2 pound loaves. There is also enough information to create your own. I use all home milled grains, some grown locally. Great bread according to friends and neighbors.

The one lb mini is pretty small. For my husband and myself I have to make bread at least twice per week. I don't think you'll be able to use it to rise dough for other purposes.

I use one stick of softened butter (which is 1/4 lb or 1/2 cup) - it works perfectly.

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.

It depends on how big a loaf U want. I like 1lb loafs but if U have a large family, 2lbs would B more practical.

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.

Depends entirely on your recipe. I've made 2 pound 8+ ounce loaves (I like to turn meals into bread) with these or 1 pound 12 ounce basic white loaves. Both rose and browned evenly.

You can use the fruit and nut dispenser for 1 or 1 1/2 lb loaves. It will automatically dispense the ingredients. For a 2 lb loaf you have to do it manually when the beep (add ingredients) sounds. It works really well just using the 1 1/2 lb loaf.

This pan is suitable for 2 pounds of bread. There is a smaller one offered that is for a one pound loaf.
