I want loaves shaped like store bought loaves. Does this machine make loaves like that, or square mushroom shapes?

This particular machine does not bake square mushroom shaped loaves. The loaves are rectangular. The bread pan is 7" long x 5 1/2" wide

If you want loaves shaped like store bought loaves, don't bake them in any breadmaker. Use it for the dough making, kneading, rising etc. then remove your bread and put it into a regular bread pan and bake it in the oven. If you bake them in the breadman, they are rectangular but they do not look like store bought.

I just ordered the machine for the GF feature...I will post my results as soon as I get it..I plan on baking a loaf of bread the same day it's delivered!

Yes. I used Brownie batter & made good ones. They are not square, of course, so you have to tell people they are round brownies. LOL

I used recipes from no-knead bread and the bread baker's apprentice. The bread maker did a good job but you have to accept the shape which is not like a loaf.

The loaves are horizontal. I like to use the dough setting and then take it out and put in my own pan and bake it in the oven. This is a great bread machine. My wife and I have two Osters and we make all kinds of bread.

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.

There is a smaller model that Zo. puts out (the BB-HAC10) specifically designed to have a small footprint and make 1' loaves for smaller households.

I am not familiar with that model, but the bread slicer works with traditionally shaped loaves, it it is a tall loaf it would work on its side. Hope that helps. The best tool is a very long bladed bread knife.

I have never made it by hand. I always use a bread machine. It is very good bread.

Is this breadmaker available again? Had one many years ago and it was wonderful, there were a lot of recipes that came with it but I didn't keep them. Do you know where I can get this machine? It's perfect for one or two.

The loaves come out rectangular. If you want a different shape you can shape it at one point during the cycle. The instructions tell you how to do this.

Hi Alice. I baked my first loaf as the directions showed with the least expensive store bought box I could find. It came out fine, smelled wonderful, and I hated to throw it out. I cleaned the machine and it has worked like a charm ever since. Enjoy your machine, it's the best!

I don't make bread machine bread, I make bread from scratch - however, I see no reason why it won't do a fine job, I've seen those bread machine loaves before and my homemade ones are much, much bigger :)

I'm not familiar with Oroweat. But I know the Schmidt's King bread fits perfectly within the grid, but I have used oblong sourdoughs and other breads it just goes outside the grid a little but still inside the machine. It's a great machine.

I use a bread machine and it makes 1 large loaf. I add a little sugar and honey, best is it is sliced and freeze 1/2loaf for later.

I'm not sure what you mean by rising dough. If you mean you just want the machine to prep the dough, it will work the same, just make a smaller ball of dough. The small machine yields enough for a 1 lb. loaf opposed to 2.5 with the large Zo. I like the smaller model for a number of reasons. It takes less space. It makes just enough for 2-3 people over a few days. And smaller loaves mean I can make different types without waste. I love my little Zo. I've never regretted purchasing the smaller model.
