I had the same thoughts when I saw my X20 for the first time. However I find that the paddles usually come out very cleanly without mangling the bread. When that happens the holes are not so objectionable.

make sure the paddle is pushed down all the way. I did not have that problem, but I might try removing the paddle anyway so there is not a hole in the bread from the paddle, haha

Sorry, don't remember. Best guess- No. I have bought paddles a couple times, and have a spare in the kitchen drawer. I probably just used my old ones when the pan arrived. BTW, replacement pan is fine.

The paddle is removable. You would have to take the dough out to remove the paddle as it is on the bottom of the pan.

I have not experienced any problem with paddle and had to look at my machine to understand your problem. My paddles sit above the bottom of the breadpan by the elevation of a small white plastic washer. My paddle, in fact, doesn't even come in contact with the bottom of the breadpan. You might contact manufacturer if this washer is not installed in your bread maker. Hope this is helpful.

No, it is self contained. It does have tiny ventilation holes though, so if you put a floured loaf on there, it may drizzle flour through. It's a great pan to bake bread with.

I have tried several gluten free recipes and they each turned out differently. But yes, I get a whole in the bottom where the paddle was. The best I have found so far is a box with most of the ingredients by glutino. It's called "favorite sandwich bread" . It is the softest and least like a brick I have found. The key (I think) is to have all the ingredients room temp. This recipe will get used again. The rest I have thrown away. Good luck!

No. This machine only has one paddle. Do a search on bing, google or whatever your search engine is, for bread machines with 2 paddles. Then see if Amazon carries it.

It has one paddle. Loaf is squarish and tall. Quick program is good. I like separate dough and baking programs. It accommodates my sourdough bread. I wish it was 3 lb bread.

It does make a difference. Make sure the paddles are not facing the same way when you start. I learned it from watching other celebs sell their dual-paddle breadmakers. I have done that ever since and the bread comes out perfect. Of course, I also measure the flour in a specific way (spoonful by spoonful) and I carefully measure my water temperature every time. When I am using milk in a recipe, I mix it in with the water in small amounts to get the temperature range exactly where it needs to be. If using eggs, I set the eggs out in advance to take the chill off so the liquids aren't chilled too much. Following these steps and in-date ingredients has made for successful bread every time. I like removing the paddles after the last knead only so I don't have to pull them out of the bread after baking. I don't do it every time. I live in a low altitude area.

I'm on my third bread machine since they first became available and all three have done the same thing paddle-wise (and they are all different brands). I let it go and wash the pan with the paddle intact. Whether the paddle comes off the spindle or not, it's *still* going to leave a small tear in the bottom of the loaf (you DO have to remove it from the bread, after all). In fact, the bread bakes *around* the paddle and a tear/slit/hole forms during THAT process.I usually don't serve the "heel" of the loaf, anyway.

i just received my breadmaker. everything worked great and the bread looked wonderful (ha). until it was time to remove the bread. you better be a rocket scientest. finally my husband came to my rescue, by the time he got the bread out, the paddles hole really made an awful mess.i am not a happy camper.the box went out with the trash, so here i am with this (big) machine to look at. and i do mean (big)hope this helps you. a friend of mine reccomended this breadmaker to me, i have had westbend products before so i though i was doing the right thing (wrong)

Yes it does. My friend removes his paddle after the dough is made on the regular mode. Then he doesn't have the paddle hole in his baked loaf. Pure Genius!! Have fun, Kathy. This is a great machine

A Zojirushi demonstrator suggested taking the dough out after second rise/before baking, giving it a quick knead (optional), and removing the blade(s) before returning the dough to the machine. There would then be only the tiny hole from the post. It does kill the "totally automatic" routine most of us want from a breadmaker, but timeline instructions in the manual should make it easy to time.

I use that time to take the paddle out so the it does not leave such a big hole in the baked bread. I'm not sure what else the pause is for. Hope this is helpful, I can check the manual if you need more info. Have a blessed day.

Hi! Usually when I finish baking a loaf I remove the pan and move the wire handle over, tapping the bottom of the baking pan, which causes the loaf to fall away. This leaves the paddle still attached in the bottom of the baking pan. There is a small, slash-shaped hole in the bottom of the loaf of bread. I generally do not have to remove the paddle from the loaf itself. Does this answer your question? Caryn Sova
