I bought the Zoe Pac 20 a little over a year ago. I have learned a lot about making bread in this machine. Most of the time I let it do the baking. This blog was very helpful. In the last few weeks I have been pulling the paddles out at 1 hr. and 45 minutes. I reshape the dough . I smear a little solid shortening on the post and the bread falls right out. I also use a egg white wash and sprinkle some seeds or oatmeal on top , or what ever goes with the bread I'm making. I have noticed that the egg white wash keeps the top of the bread from wrinkling when cooling. Pay close attention to your bread a nice smooth ball is the key to a great loaf of bread.
