I have used a "low-end" bread machine off and on for about as long as they've been around. My current machine was a half price thrift store bargain at five dollars. It NEVER occurred to me to remove the dough and the paddle and reshape the loaf before putting it back in ... a head smacking moment for sure. I often use the dough setting and shape as I wish, however. Live and learn they say. 🙂
