After the second rise/punch down, I take the dough out of the bread machine pan, shape it, put it in a regular loaf pan, and put that pan in the machine for the third rise and baking -- it sits perfectly on top of the pan supports/shafts. Works every time. Some people put the dough in the standard loaf pan and bake in the oven, but with the Zoji Virtuoso Plus it's not necessary since the standard pan fits in the machine like it's made for it.
