Once you get used to the order that ingredients are added to the machine - you can adapt any recipe that makes 2 loaves by halving the ingredients. In fact one of my favorite recipes is for a New York style Jewish Rye bread that I got online. I suggest using the recipe booklet that came with the machine until you know which ones appeal to you , and then readin recipes online to try to find alternatives tha tyou may prefer. Good luck to you.

Hitachi has an online recipe book. The 'regular' loaves are 1 lb loaves, the large are 1.5 lbs and most of those are really tasty~!!@

Bread Machine Magic by Linda Rehberg & Lois Conway. Their recipes are for 1 pound and 1 and 1/2 pound loaves.

The Laurels Kitchen Breadbook has recipes for 1, 1.5, and 2 pound loaves. There is also enough information to create your own. I use all home milled grains, some grown locally. Great bread according to friends and neighbors.

I have not found one yet. Mostly I look online or at King Arthur Flour for recipes. FYI, the bread recipe that came with the Zo is ok... not outstanding though. I would like to find a good one too!

We just had the machine for a month and we are still experimenting. But we already tried three recipes from a book, we just half the amount of all ingredients; so far it has worked fine.

I have found many individual recipes online that allow you to input the LB size you want and it converts the recipe. You can also convert any recipe yourself. If a recipe is for 2-lbs....half everything.

Hi Patdownsouth! Thanks - I did end up buying it and am quite happy with it. You're right, there are some major errors with some of the recipe (check out that water content for the 1lb raisin bread) and I'm still looking for a really good whole wheat recipe with seeds/nuts. The two paddles do work well. Mine does have three settings (1-1.5lb, 2lb, and 2.5lb) and it beeps in the middle of the cycle (which is not in the manual, and I need to look next time it does to figure out where in the cycle it is) and I assume that's for adding nuts/seeds/fruit. It is definitely much better than my 14 year old Zo! Hi Patdownsouth! Thanks - I did end up buying it and am quite happy with it.

I wish I could help. I have had a lot of success with their sandwich bread recipe. It's very simple, but my kids favorite.

I bake a loaf of bread using 3.5 lb of flour but you could use more. 1 recipe usually makes 2 small loaves or one large loaf. A small loaf fits the 15 inch braided loaf pan.

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.

I have used any bread machine specific recipes including cookbooks and packages of premixed as well as the ones that come with the machine and had great success. I have not tried to use a regular cook in the oven recipe.

I use 3 and 1/2 cups of flour. I do not know how many pounds that would be. The loaf is the same diameter of the cloche �

I use a one pound bread baker so the loaves are rather small. It would be easier to use the smaller loaf but if you are careful, the two pound loaves could be cut as well. Just takes a little more care to slice neatly.

I use the machine to bake bread once or twice a week. The loaves come out rectangular with a nicely rounded top, which I would call traditional-looking. I should add that I make only the 1-1/2 lb. size, and only with basic or whole wheat programs, so I can only assume the other programs would produce similar results. The instruction book contains a good check list to indicate where measurement errors would lead to poor-shaped results.

Jonathan,Thanks for the note about loading your no-knead breads to your pot!! That is a very special application, but one that I also use. Very cool!Gary@EXO/Super Peel

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.

If the loaf is just longer it doesn't matter. If it is wider than the normal 1 and 1 1/2 pound loafs you'll run into problems- it won't fit inside the guide.

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.

Hello Diane, I haven't made any multigrain recipes yet. I did order a paperback book called "Smart Bread Machine Recipes: Healthy, Whole Grain & Delicious [Paperback]Sandra Woodruff (Author) I think this can be a great start to experiment trying other grains with whole wheat flour. Hopefully this helps. I never knew it could be so much fun and healthier with homemade bread.
