Knowing your breadmaker’s loaf capacity will enable you to find recipes of any variety on the Internet for free. It will also keep you from adding too much flour, etc. which could cause rising dough to flow over the sides of your bread pan, creating quite a mess and if left unattended, quite a bit of smoke when the final “bake” cycle begins. Hope you find this information helpful. Happy Breadmaking & Warmest Regards, The Breadmaker Guru
Remove your bread pan from your breadmaker. Using a one-cup (8oz) liquid measure, fill your bread pan with water. Note: Be certain to use a "liquid" measuring cup. A “liquid” measuring cup is clear and displays an imprinted scale down its side. As you fill your bread pan with water, count the total number of 8 oz cups it takes to fill your bread pan to the very rim.
