The person who designed this bowl to make, proof & bake is a genius!!   I just made my first loaf of bread in this & its FANTSTIC!!  Followed instructions from the recipe included and baking time too, came out just amazing!!   Used the parchment paper so nothing stuck.   Can't wait to bake my next loaf of bread in this bowl for the holidays.  If you know someone who loves to bake bread & has the kitchen aid mixer I strongly recommend as a great gift!!!
