Question: what are the dimensions in inches of 1 lb & 2 lb loaf?  I'd like to also order a bread slicer and guide that will work
Document: Although I wish the screen had better contrast, the proof is in the baking. Also, I'd use the "light crust" baking setting as the medium produces a crunchier crust than we like (personal taste). Start with the basic sandwich loaf in the booklet. You will not be disappointed.As a treat, I picked up the dual-loaf bread pan for the machine which comes with its own paddles. Just put half of each ingredient for a 2 lb. loaf on each side.
Nothing exotic, just a 1.5 lb. loaf of white bread. The tops of the loaves collapse. I've done everything the troubleshooting guide recommended for both "flat loaves" and "top and sides cave in". No luck.
I used a pre-made bread mix (1.5 - 2.0 lb recipe) from the grocery store to make it super easy on me, plus a teaspoon more yeast as noted in the manual for this setting.In 2 hours plus cooling time, the bread baked wonderfully. Using the plain white mix, it baked evenly in the machine and came out with a golden brown crust -- also very even -- using the medium setting on a 2.0 lb loaf setting.
After a friend received a thyroid cancer diagnosis and was put on a restrictive low-iodine diet, she wasn't allowed to eat commercially baked bread. I ordered this machine in order to bake fresh bread for her. I couldn't be more pleased. The very first loaf using a Thyca.org recipe turned out incredible. As she put it, "I'd have paid $1,000 for that slice of bread". It really helped her get through the diet and on to her treatment in record time.
It's taken some getting used to, but overall, a great bread maker. I like the sandwich recipe best. The crust does tend to come out a little thick so I use the lightest setting. 1.5 and 2 lb loaves seem the best size. 1lb is too small and 2.5lb push against the lid.Love the horizontal loaf and dual beaters.
This machine is my 3rd bread maker. This is the best one I've used! I don't like the &#34;tall loaf&#34; bread machines, this makes horizontal loaves from 1 lb up to 2.5 lb. I make all kinds of bread and it definitely lives up to it's name, Hi-Rise....I have had dough rise up to the lid lol  Great, great machine.
Very easy to get setup and get the bread cooking. Haven't gone beyond Basic break yet. I did order the dual loaf pan and that came out ok. Still a matter of figuring out the recipes (which were not provided with the dual loaf - I just split the 2 lb recipe but didn't get enough bread). Would highly recommend this breadmaker
Smaller compact size and nice loaves. Easy clean up. The two 1 lb. loaf pan is a nice option but we like the 2 lb. loaves this machine makes so skipped that expense. Only drawback is no light which means pick up the flashlight to see what's happening.
If I had known how easy it was to make fresh, healthy bread for my family, I would have bought this before now!You do have to unplug to turn it off, but I would do that anyway so that wasn't a deal breaker for me.The only thing I recommend is that you also buy a bread slicer guide so that your bread is nice and even when you cut it. Unless, of course, you possess the talent of cutting straight, which I obviously lack!
I recived this product last week and till last night didn't use it. So it was about 8 pm last night when i realized that i was out of bread and with kids knocking on my door for trick or treating. my son brings his own lunch to school so i decided to start a 2.5 lb loaf of sandwich bread and hoped that the machine would work well. woke up this morning with a wonderful loaf of bread and my son was very happy.
Answer: John:  The dimensions of the loaf pan determine the dimension of the bread 9"x5"x5".  The choice of 1.0/1.5, 2.0 or 2.5lb. setting has to do with cooking time.  I only use 1.0/1.5lb setting; otherwise the bread overbakes,dries out or over rises and hits top of cover.  Hope this is helpful.
