I've searched this morning for a posting from several months ago about using the bread machines for kneading the dough, then baking the bread in regular loaf pans in the oven. Today I thought I would try it, and of course, now I cannot find the instructions.
So...after I get the dough out of the bread machine, I put it into a greased loaf pan, cover it lightly and leave it to rise...then what?
Time and temperature for the oven, and approximately how long to let the dough rise (I think I recall it is supposed to about double in size)?
Thanks!

OK, I figured it out myself; I used the bread machine twice to get two batches of bread dough kneaded, then turned each batch out into a greased loaf pan, covered them with a clean towel and let the dough rise for about 2 1/2 hours, until almost doubled in the pan. Then I baked both loaves together for 25 minutes in the oven at 350%. They look wonderful; and as I had hoped, the whole process was quicker than using the bread machine through two entire cycles.
Hope this helps someone else!

i went to a bread class and she used the bread mixer. i fell in love! still don't have one but i am saving up for one. yhe class lasted about 3 hours and she milled the wheat and mixed and baked. tasted WONDERFUL! mixed up to 6! batches at ONES, she used the same dough for cinn. rolls, pizza crust and more. i learned so much, i'll post her web site later

Jo, how did your bread turn out? Most have two rises and it sounds like you did only one. I would have turned the dough into a large greased bowl, let it rise until double, than shape and put into pans to rise again until nearly double before baking. If they came out okay for you and you're happy with the results, than you did just fine.

Jo,
You might want to look up info on the Bosch Universal Mixer. I just got one. This is not unlike a stand mixer with dough hooks and lots of other optional attatchements, but in a video demo I watched, it really mixed more thoroughly than the usual KA mixer. Very compact. Makes wonderful bread dough, and you can make bread without a recipe as soon as you learn a few basic principles. I love it!!!! I made a lingonberry bread and a molasses wheat and had excellent results.

i know it's wrong, but I WANT A BOSCH MIXER TOO!!! they are the best (that i have seen) i looked it all up on the web a while back, the KA is tops in cookie mixing and the BOSCH is tops in bread making. the lady who did my bread class explained everything so well and the bread turned out WONDERFUL. really i think you have to see it to beleive!, it's that amazing. i'm about to cry here, sniff, sniff. Anyway so happy for you and your mixer, i hope you have a wonderful relationship that goes on 4-ever!!!

I took note of how you did your 2 loaves. My Dh had bought me a Zojirushi this summer,I had not heard of them until then. I was shocked with the price tag. But I do love it, it does cookie, pasta doughs as well and even does preserves (which I have not done yet) I have a kitchenaid, and love it dearly and we have all the attachments which does makes things a little easier. If and when my kitchen aid dies, I will rethink the brands. but my bread machine came itha cookbook and we love the honey bread recipe, and going to use your two loaf method.

The Zo has been a top brand of bread machines for a very long time. Old KitchenAid mixers were just about bulletproof, newer ones not so good but still better than most. If my mid 50's KA ever quits, I'll be heartbroken.
