How much time do you have once you remove the dough to shape it, etc before you have to get it back into the machine? Is the machine still on and heating up for baking? My machine, even though a good one at the time I purchased it 25 years ago, is not as fancy as the Zo. I don't think I can shut it down or pause it. I usually just use my machine to make the dough and then bake in a normal pan because I have always disliked those large holes in the bottom of the bread and the overly tall shape of the bread. Your blog has been an eye opener for me and who knew we were allowed to break a few rules when dealing with the bread machine.
