Wow, thanks for the idea Rosemary. Never thought of removing it from the Zo pan. I put it in the KAF bread pan and put it back in the machine, before it's last rise. As it is baking it looks picture perfect. I was so disappointed in my Zo machine because I always got lopsided ski slope shaped loaves. Was at my wits end until I read these tips and your post. When it kneads it seems to only be on one of the paddles, so this was just the solution to the ski slope loaf. I had previously owned a West Bend Baker's Choice Plus II bread machine, while it worked very well for several years , it was getting noisy and had to Duct tape the door closed when using, lol. Thanks again for the input!
