How many loaves will it hold? Easy o clean?

On the cleaning, it does get a little grungy after a while, but it's pretty easy to clean.

The dough never really touches the unit so cleaning it has not been an issue so far. I have no trouble getting 2 loaf pans in it. I also have a large glass bowl I use for the initial rise and that fits in it as well. I love it! Our humidity levels in Montana can be lower than Phoenix, AZ at times and this has REALLY made the difference in my bread - no matter what. I highly recommend this unit.

I use it to raise 2 loaves of Artisan French bread in the big bowl for all the rises until the last one when I make two loaves and rise them in a cochere (sp?) or the linen cloth. I've tried to put it into the Proofer but it is too hard to get them out. And that time was the only time I had to clean it. Most all other times the container is the one that needs cleaning. Guess your answer is that most of the time you can make two regular size loaves. It all depends on your container. It's really bigger than you might think too. I'm glad I purchased it.

My Cambro 6QT fits in with enough room for 2 or 3 other jars. I can do two loaves out of them.

It holds 2 5x91/2" loaf pans if you don't want to cover the water tray. I doesn't get dirty because no dough touches it...you put the pans in it.

I have a recipe for 2 pretty good sized loaves of Sourdough and it holds the bowl quite easily. It really depends on the container you use to raise the dough - it is pretty large. I haven't had to clean it yet, and probably won't much as the dough doesn't touch any of the surfaces of the machine - just the container you use to raise it. Great product - ingenious design - worth the investment in my opinion!

2 large loaves....Excellent Proofer. Well worth the money! Also use it for other bakery food.

Depends on the size of the loaves. It will not hold two long loaves of French brad. It is very easy to clean. Just wipe it down with a dish cloth.

Yes. It can hold 4 slices of bread easily without alternating sideways at all. Great size.

Yes, my wife makes 1, 1 1/2, and 2 lb loaves. My brother bought the newest one and says it's even better than ours which is three years old. You will love it.

Three loaves max. I have made less than the three loaves and it works fine.

Width can fit 2 loaves but I think you may run into an issue with length of your loaf. I do not have a full loaf of bread to measure and check. Hope that helps.

I use it all the time for breadmaking. One loaf at a time, that is three cups of flour and I use the metal chopper, adding water and butter slowly while it is going until I have the right amount of water. I let it run about a minute to knead it. I do eight loaves per batch. I have two machines. one at the cottage. Cleaning is a pain; use a toothbrush. I used to use two mixers but they just aren,t able to take the abuse

5.5 holds a short loaf well. I use it for a long loaf after a few slices have been used.

It depends on your ingredients, but I think it can save you money. The recipes all take about 4 cups of flour. A 5 lb bag of flour has 20 cups, so you can get 5 loaves. Depending the cost of your flour and if you buy yeast in bulk on Amazon, I think you could make loaves for about $1.50 or less. It also depends on what other ingredients you use. You'll need about 1.5 TBSP butter or oil for each loaf as well as about 2 TBSP sugar, honey or molasses and 1.5 tsp salt.

It's probably bad for the pan to do just the one side...I recommend you do the two loaves, then tuck one into plastic bag and freeze for later use. (I use the Bo Friberg baguette recipe, which makes 3 in the small size batch, and I freeze a raw loaf to rise and bake later, plus often freeze a baked loaf for use a few days later...HTH

Inside for storage is 18 wide, 7 high and 8.5 deep from my measurements. I have had numerous comments on it - it is sturdy and holds two full loaves of bread.

It is 9" x 6" and 2 1/2 inches deep - not sure about how many cups of flour bread it would hold. The bread I baked had 2 cups whole wheat flour and one cup wheat germ. It did great.

I have had my mixer a year. I do bread for Farmers Markets. I have done recipes that do mostly 2 loaves at a time....occasionally 3 and it does great. Recipes with rye, whole wheat and oatmeal are among those I do. I love the ease of cleaning, lightweight bowl and smaller footprint...so far so good!! It gets used at least 3 days a week!

Dear Alaina's mommy, I do not believe you will have enough room for one loaf of bread, much less two. I believe this "shelf" was designed for small jars or cans. I use it for stacks of ivory and white cardstock.

The one lb mini is pretty small. For my husband and myself I have to make bread at least twice per week. I don't think you'll be able to use it to rise dough for other purposes.

Hello there.Two bread pieces sliced in halves moderately filled would be probably 5-6 sandwiches. Need to warm it half an hour before eating will be just right.

If you have a bread machine it may not hold the whole recipe. I fix half a box at a time and use my bread machine and it doesn't fall apart.

I just made pumpkin bread loaves in this pan today. Each well easily holds 4-5 oz batter which bakes into a perfect individual sized loaf to throw in lunches etc. I keep multiple batches (banana, blueberry, pumpkin etc bread in the freezer and family members can help themselves. These pack much better than muffins.
