Is this pan the equivalent of a 1 1/2 lb loaf pan or should bread recipes be adjusted?

I use fresh ground whole wheat for all my bread. The recipe for 2 loaves will vary some each batch, but total weight will average 43 to 44 ounces. I divide and make two loaves. I did have to re-season as they wanted to stick on the sides. I used lard to season. Also had to increase my oven temperature to 375 from the normal 350.

I did not adjust my recipe. Consequently, the loaf rises very high, but did not spill over. I like a taller loaf - it's really good for making sandwiches. I only make light pumpernickel, so I don't know for sure how it would do with white bread flour.

It is less than a traditional loaf pan and recipes need to be adjusted to smaller quantities.

It's the standard 8.5 X 4.5. The measurements are misleading because they are the overall size. The ends, as noted in the photo are about a 1/2" wide. I use my standard 1# recipes.

It is same as a regular loaf pan. I use original recipes and my turns out fine without having to adjust recipes.

Without measuring- it seems a little smaller, but not by much. Ive found that in order to yield same size loaves I've had to allow just a little longer rise time. Let it get tall. I also would suggest steam be present during beginning of bake, to get a nice tall oven spring. Loaves will be close to what your used too, just a bit taller. Hope that helps. BTW, the crust makes it worthwhile.

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

Not much over 1 lbs, the pans are very small! 8 3/8 x 4 1/2 at top and 7 1/2 x 3 3/4 at bottom

If you are using the recipe book that comes with the main/full-size breadmaker then it will give you the exact recipe for a 1-pound loaf....you make 1 of these for EACH of the sides of the double loaf pan....if you want to use a recipe in the book that makes a 2-pound loaf, or any other bread recipe that makes a 2-pound loaf, then yes you would divide the recipe in half and put half in each of the little bread pans.

My Machine makes a two pound loaf and it doesn't fit. A smaller regular loaf should fit but nothing larger.

Using the full box produces a 1 1/2lb. loaf. My bread machine (horizontal) is meant for a 2lb. loaf but this works fine for me. The first time the loaf was lopsided so now I just check before the final rise and center it in the pan if needed. Fantastic bread, especially if you use coconut oil instead of butter.

2lbs. works fine, but how much yeast rise are you looking for ?What knid of bread are you making ?By the way, I don't use the sliding lid; get a nice rounded top on the loaf.

The pans are actually smaller - they are 4x2x2 - a standard loaf recipe will fill 2-3 of these pans. They were great during the holidays as I made quick breads for my Christmas packages - so I was able to get 3 done at a time with one recipe without hoping it would double-triple well. I recommend the pans - but if you were looking for a standard 9x5 pan - these are not it.

pan size is approx 7x 5.5 inches. The machine makes 1.5 and 2 lbs. loaf, so loaf's length varies by a couple of inches.

Mine is not big either. It's a little more than half the pan. And it's not a "fluffy" kind of bread, that's why I use it for toasts. It's small but tasty ;) They make a note about the ratio of water depending the altitude where you live, but I don't know if that would make a difference on the size of the loaf.

All my recipes are different but, most of them (using 5-6 cups flour) make 2 nice loaves in these 1.5 lb. pans. I prefer bigger loaves for sandwich making.

I bake a 2 lb. loaf. Don't know if that would make a difference. I make sure my loaf is completely cool before bagging; otherwise there will be moisture.

I have made only 1lb loaves but it has settings for 1-1/2 and 2 also. Only complaint is setting letters are white on yellow which are hard to see. Makes great bread.

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?

YES! I make 2 lb. loaves in this pan all the time and it's the perfect fit! Happy Baking!

Actually the slice is somewhat larger than store bought bread at 4 1/2" X 5" for the 1 1/2 lb. loaf. 2lb loaf would run 4 1/2" X 6". Don't know about the 1lb loaf but would be 4 1/2 X ?.

Jeanette, I have a 5 quart dutch oven and I was worried that this recipe would be too much for it so I paired it down to 2/3 of the recipe. I could have kept the recipe the same and been fine. No, you don't really need a 7 quart for that bread recipe, or at least that was MY experience.

Of course depending on the size of loaf. I bake a a 1 lb. loaf and it is perfect, when I tried a 1 1/2 lb loaf it worked but was a bit tight. I do really like this slicer because it is small and compact when folded up. You can make slices from very thin to thick.. Hope this helps..

These pans are quite narrow even though they are long and I think maybe a 2-pound loaf might raise to be pretty big. It is worth a try though.
