Has anyone used these for mini loafs of bread?

Haven't used them for mini loaves, but I imagine they would fit small loaves. (These bags aren't very wide, but something 4-5 inches across and 1-2 inches tall should fit.)

I have not, but they're pleated on the sides and do expand quite a bit. I think it would work.

I have. I like a typical baguette not a square loaf like the bread maker makes. It works perfectly.

I haven't, but see no reason for not doing so. Based on the size, I'd use a little over 2lb (1kg) of dough. You'll likely need to increase the baking time a little. That implies you may need to lay some aluminum foil over the top for the last ten minutes or so, to avoid over-browning the crust. Unlike the previous poster, I see no benefit to using the lift-out trivet. The pan is coated and a little oil or shortening should make for easy removal of the loaf.

I'm sorry but we have not used them for oven baking. We use them for soup and cereal only.

I have tried it only twice. Both times one loaf was OK (but not that great. The other loaf not good. I think with more practice and experimenting it might be OK. Just a guess. Until I have time to play more with it, I am sticking to the 2.5 lb Sweet Bread recipe (minus coconut) which always comes out perfectly.

I freeze bread in them all the time. I do know someone who double bags her bread when she is traveling a long distance just as an added protection and since these bags are so nicely priced, you can afford to just that.

They would do well for that. I use them actually for single serving pot pies, mini fruit pies, and shepherds pie. They're actually pretty versatile.

These bags would not fit the somewhat square loaves from my Panasonic bread machine. Cutting the loaf in half would work, but that may not be acceptable. I only use the bread machine to make the dough because of the odd shaped loaves produced by the machine. The hand formed loaves baked in the oven result in a standard sized loaf that fits nicely in these bags.

I haven't used it for anything other than baguettes. Keep in mind the rolls will have the pattern on the bottom the perforated bottom gives to the bread.

I read somewhere that the 1 lb loaf doesn't come out well in this machine because there isn't enough dough to knead very well with teh 2 paddles. But a 1 1/2 lb loaf does work well. Zojirushi also makes a mini machine, but it does a vertical loaf.

No, they do not. They are nice, thick plastic bags for keeping the bread moist, not for putting it in hot. I have found them to be good enough quality that I can reuse them several times each.

Yes, they fit around a 2 lb. loaf from our machine. Kinda depends the size of loaf your machine makes.

I used them for sandwiches and they seemed to fit pretty perfectly, right within the crust of a regular slice of wheat bread... I hope this helps

I did the first time, but they said you could just put them on a baking sheet so the second time when I was making 4 mini quiches I just put them on a baking sheet with a rim and they worked perfectly.

I'd be interested too! I've made two loaves of bread so far in my small Zojirushi (3 days old!) but both were kind of dense. If I make anything successfully, I'll post the recipe here. But if anyone has any to share, I'm definitely interested too.

Sorry, but I have only used it for pizza so far. Other reviews have mentioned making bread with it.

I use these pans for banana date bread, my recipe uses 5.5 cups of flour and fills 8 mini loaf pans. Hopefully this will help you estimate how many pans you will need for your recipe.
