Has anyone tried making half a recipe and 5 buns? I'm wondering if it is feasible or if the dough would spread sideways too much.

Yes you can. The trick is getting the proper amount of dough to make a proper sized bun to fit the larger Hebrew National dogs. Still have variables like yeast, rising time and temperature to contend with. Homemade buns beat any commercially made product. Bread pans are also great products!

The last bun in the middle would be funky. Make the whole recipe and freeze the rest. As a side note, it has been our experience that home made bread lasts longer. Cool it as normal and store it in your fridge.

Thanks for the replies. Haven't had good results freezing store bought hot dog buns but hopefully these will keep better. I had the same thought about using foil. Haven't used the pan yet but may try a half recipe after the first one, that fifth one can always go to the birds, lol.

I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing it wouldn't work. You could try. If you only want 5, I would suggest you make the 10 and freeze your extras for another day.

I have not, but you might be successful if you stuff the unused half of the pan with aluminum foil, as the dough will certainly spread to the area of least resistance! Of course, you would need to halve the dough recipe...

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.

Hi, you may not want to roll out dough on this mat because it does not have a very large circumference depending on the size that you need but it is very possible as the mat will not slide back and forth at all. The mat is sticky though and I have found that I was better off rolling out my dough on my countertop. I hope this helps:)

I typically prepare a dough using 6 cups and then split it in two, one half I use in the superstone baker and the space is plenty even when the volume doubles... you could probably fit even a four-cup recipe in it, I would think.

I have! I use the "dough" option (I think #9) and it works great! I use a recipe from a cookbook I own. 1 Cup of water, 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, 3 Cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. Salt, 2 Tbsp. dry yeast. Let the machine do the work, and 1.5 hrs later..boom! Pizza dough ready for handling or freezing for later! :) (Optional flour combos I've done: 1/2 C. Corn meal flour, 1 1/2 C. whole wheat flour, and 1 C. bread flour. You can also add spices like garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme...to add extra flavor!)

If you're mixing a very small quantity of dough or batter it doesn't mix very well but if you're making a couple of loaves of yeast bread (which I'd call a medium quantity of dough) it works fine. Bake two and pop one in the freezer or give it to a neighbor!

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?

Definitely yes. I do it this way all the time. I just double my recipe and put part of it in the jars and the rest in the container. It works fine each time I've done it. I think you'll be happy with the results.

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.

My maker does not have a dough cycle. People here say it does? Maybe I should figure that out. The closest I can come is the "pizza" cycle.

I use three tablespoons for whole wheat bread. My recipe called for two but that wasn't quite enough.

Dear Amazon Consumer,Thank you for your interest in the Cake Boss Bake ware.May I also suggest you use the middle shelf in the oven.Please keep in mind that each oven is different, though you adjusted the temperature, you may also need to adjust the length of time you allow to bake. Or perhaps lower the temperature another degrees. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you.Kind Regards,Audrey Consumer Relations

Well, I don't know. I know this: I'm a not a baker, per se. Any recipe I've tried fits in the pan, it just comes out taller, I guess.I think someone else is probably more qualified to answer than me. Sorry. TM

I went on line and got a recipe from a competitor for a 9 or 11 cup food processor. I tried the recipe that called for 4 cups of flour (2 loaves of bread). I may not have followed the recipe steps of adding what when??? It was too much and the processor just couldn't get the dough around the bowl. I put the dough into the bread machine and worked it there and it eventually was worked enough. I tried a 2 cup recipe twice and it made excellent dough both times with about a minutes worth of processing. I have the dough raising for the oven now and it is as nice or nicer than the Kitchen Aide mixer,or the bread machine makes. So yes, for my pizza dough recipe (-2 cups flour) and roll or small bread recipes it will be a snap. I may make up some pre-packaged bags for the freezer to take out and fix in a hurry. I was nervous and kept feeling for any heat from the motor, but nothing.

Hi, I'm still trying to perfect my dough. According to eitalianfood.com, you only add the yeast to the flour along with 2 teaspoons sugar. I'm going to use honey instead of sugar. I'm making dough tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes.

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!

If you have a bread machine it may not hold the whole recipe. I fix half a box at a time and use my bread machine and it doesn't fall apart.
