This produces a vertical loaf of bread using one kneading paddle. If you desire a horizontal loaf, you need a machine that uses 2 kneading paddle. The appearance of the loaf produced varies according to the recipe, loaf size and amount of rise, but it will never look like a loaf bought in the grocery store.

Like most of bread machines, the pan is indeed a somewhat square shape and the product is not going to look like what a loaf of bread might be from the store, but my breads do not raise that much to form the mushroom head. :-) you can always bake the bread in a bread pan to have a more loaf shape. Hope this helps.

You can't avoid a hole in the bread maker because you bake inside of it and there is a little propeller there to mix the doe. You would have to take it out, place into some other form, take propeller out, place it back. Who cares about the little hole. If bread is like a brick, then maybe you need to read instructions in the book and follow them exactly. Also make sure you have fresh yeast, that your yeast is not dead or too old. Have good quality flower too. My kid read instructions and made the first loaf of whole weat bread and it happened to be wonderful. That load was gone the same evening. He was very proud of it. Everybody praised the bread and the price was much cheaper than if I would buy it in the store. No more store bread for me.

It is harmless as it has to do with the baking process of the bread. If the bread gets moist the mold will be more green, stuck to the bread, and will definitely have hair on it. I've gone through cases of this stuff and left one in the cupboard too long and that one did get moldy but that white powder is nothing to worry about.

No, they're pretty much square or vertical, depending on how much your bread rises.

I used a double loaf recipe and it came out ok.... If you want it taller try putting 3 loaf recipe

I did not. I just opened the box, took out the machine, wiped out the bread pan with a damp cloth and then dried it. Then I add all the ingredients for my first loaf and it was fantastic!

I just made zucchini bread using this cup-for-cup in my recipe. While mixing I quickly saw there wasn't enough moisture, so I added more zucchini & a little water. Baking time seemed to be less, but I just did one trial loaf instead of my normal two loaves, so maybe that was the difference. The loaf didn't rise quite as much as with wheat flour. The taste isn't very good & was also bland with a poor mouth feel. I'm thinking that this might be due to not decreasing the flour to 3/4 cup. I'd appreciate any input so I don't waste this expensive flour!

Honestly - I never did that before making my first loaf and it was fine. I hope that helps.

The paddle is meant to bake inside the bread. Then you take the loaf out, and retrieve the paddle if it's inside. Makes sure to take it out before you slice. :) I had another machine that the paddle did not come off. What a pain in the neck it was to clean! And it was hard to get the loaf out. This is a much better design.

I see so much confusion in the responses. Loaf bakes like in a regular loaf pan. It is about 5 inches wide and high by about 7 and a half inches long. The crust is on top, not on the end of the loaf. LOL! My understanding of the vertical loaves has the crust on the end of a loaf, and the horizontal loaf is longer than wide, with the crust on top, like the store bought bread!

I'm having the same problem with my Breadman TR875. I'm about ready to try my luck with the Dough cycle and completing the loaves in the oven. The bread tastes fine, has great texture, but the gaping holes are just not very pretty and makes it impossible to make sandwiches from the center of the loaf.

I slice the loaf and then freeze half of it. The other half goes into a relatively air-tight plastic or glass container on the counter since it will be used within a few days. Hope this helps!

The loaf is rectangular on the bottom, but not that far from square. It rises to the full height of a good loaf of bread. Sometimes almost a little too tall - but that's my fault for experimenting too much. The slices of bread are completely normal in size. The shape is the same as a classic loaf - not square and flat topped like Wonder Bread - or wide like Oroweat - they are a classic home baked loaf size. It's a really pretty slice. My experiments have probably hit 6" tall a few times, but that isn't so high it hits the lid. They still came out fine. I'm waiting for a loaf to finish in about 5 minutes and I'll measure it. While we wait, the manual is on line here: http://www.zojirushi.com/servicesupport/manuals/manual_pdf/bb_hac10.pdf It is from this page on the Zojirushi site: http://www.zojirushi.com/ourproducts/breadmakers/bb_hac.html It's done: The flat bottom is 3 3/4" by 4 3/4". The bottom corners are a little curved at the points. Not sharp and square like the corners of a box (just took photos of the loaf and will upload them on the product page). The slices have square bottom corners though, the heal is the only place you really see curved in part. The widest part of the loaf, at the top, where it is still touching the sides of the pan, is 4" x 5", and that is 4" from the bottom. The dome rises to 5 1/2" tall in the center. I just realized you can have two different sized slices: either 4" wide and 5 1/2" inch tall - classic size, or 5" wide by 5 1/2" tall - if you baked a shorter loaf, it would be about Oroweat size. I'll try to get those photos uploaded now. Check the product page under the photo of the breadmaker.

It's a nice normal rectangular loaf. It's not terribly long, and if you're making a 2-lb. loaf or just something that rises really high it can get pretty tall, but for my usual 1.5 lb. whole wheat recipe, it makes great normal square sized slices that fit right in any standard sandwich container or bag.

I suppose you could say it is both. I mean, it is a round jar, with square-ish corners...if that makes any sense. For my purposes it really doesn't matter whether the jar is round or square, as I am using these jars for storing sugar and flour.

I don't know anything about gluten free, but there will be a "slice" in the bottom of the loaf from the paddle. It usually just closes up once the paddle is removed. Sounds like a yeast problem if it was like a brick.

This machine makes a loaf that is sort of traditional size. The loaf is still taller than wide. I always cut the slice in half, otherwise you have a tall large slice of bread. Hope this helps. My after thought, it is better to get a machine that makes the square tall loaf,better slices of bread.
