Does this breadmaker have 2 paddles? I am making gluten free and the recipes specify to find a machine with two paddles if possible.

No, it has only one. This is the second Breadman bread maker that my wife has had. The first lasted over 10 years. My wife and several of our grandchildren enjoy raisin bread, so she makes 2 or 3 loafs each week. The unit has a place to put the raisins and it adds them at the right time. The paddle mixes them throughout the loaf quite well. I hope this helps.

no it does not but I don't know of any that does have two paddles, there is a recipes in the book that I also bought which is gluten fee and only calls for one paddle, my father was a professional baker and they never had such a thing as two paddles in the Hobart mixers too much air,will make the bread have a lot of holes in the dough.this mixer is great, I have had three now and this is by far the best one for the money.

No. This machine only has one paddle. Do a search on bing, google or whatever your search engine is, for bread machines with 2 paddles. Then see if Amazon carries it.

Wolfgang Puck machine has 2 paddles. I used the hell out of mine until the element went tits up and the machine had to be trashed as it kept tripping my GFI in the kitchen. Great machine while it lasted though and made some pretty great bread. Horizontal loaf also

The Zojirushi BB-CEC20 has 2 paddles. But....It's $250. Looks like a great machine, but the cost is higher.

I'm researching bread makers. One that I've seen does have two paddles because it can be set to make two loaves next to each other at the same time.I think it is a higher-end Breadman model, but it could be a Zojirushi, which is the other brand I'm looking seriously to buy. I've heard good things and bad things about two paddles. I don't think you need two to make gf bread.

I don't know anything about gluten free, but there will be a "slice" in the bottom of the loaf from the paddle. It usually just closes up once the paddle is removed. Sounds like a yeast problem if it was like a brick.

We make 2 loaves of whole wheat bread without any issues. We have seen 6-8 love iced/kneeded at one time as we'll, no issues. As long you are using the bread paddle, you should have any issues.

It has a small paddle and I have never had it get stuck in the machine. When you remove the baked bread from the pan, the paddle will sometimes release along with the bread wnd will have to be removed from the loaf but it's no big deal. I have enjoyed the machine.

The benefit ? The paddle will lay sideways in the bread and all you have to do is pull it out of the loaf. The other way if it wasn't collapsible it would leave a big hole in the center of your loaf. You will still have a small hole but not like you would have if the paddle wasn't collapsible. You only have one paddle in use at the time. It doesn't have to working paddles at the same time. I like my breadman.

I agree with David Cowell. The mixing paddle gets stuck in the baked bread, and leaves a good sized hole when you remove it. Also, you do need to open it during the mixing cycle to scrape the sides of the pan to make sure all the flour gets incorporated into the dough. Other than that, it's great. I use it about every other week to make gluten free bread and I get a consistent loaf every time.

Once you get used to the order that ingredients are added to the machine - you can adapt any recipe that makes 2 loaves by halving the ingredients. In fact one of my favorite recipes is for a New York style Jewish Rye bread that I got online. I suggest using the recipe booklet that came with the machine until you know which ones appeal to you , and then readin recipes online to try to find alternatives tha tyou may prefer. Good luck to you.

Mine had 2 paddles, each came in three parts. Make sure you really tighten them before use.

Yes, the BBM800XL Custom Loaf™ Bread Maker comes with both a collapsible paddle and a fixed paddle.

I personally have not used this machine for gluten-free bread. However, I did purchase the "Bread Machine Cookbook" by Beth Bensperger (Amazon books). I'll quote her chapter on Gluten Free Breads. "You need to have a strong motor in your bread machine to make these breads, one that is capable of handling whole wheat doughs, because the gluten-free doughs are like thick sticky batters. This book contains 3 recipes courtesy of Lisa Brugellis of Welbilt of America. Hensperger states that the "Welbilt Millennium bread machine models" all of which have a special Non-Gluten Bread cycle. Having said this, she also suggests that if you don't have this special cycle on your machine to use the Quick Yeast Bread cycle. The Sunbeam does have a Whole Wheat cycle, but not a Quick Yeast cycle. Hope this helps a little.

Have you found any alternative? I just started looking into purchasing a bread maker and I'm stuck in the same quandry. I avoid non-stick at all costs, but I can't seem to find a machine without it. Please let me know if you found anything. Thanks! Lyndi

Yes, it does. This machine has quite a few settings, one of them is gluten free. I use it when I bake any bread that is gluten free.

The machine is great. I'll always stick by the Breadman name. My previous machine was a non-collapsable paddle with convection. Therefore it cooked much faster than this one. I would love to see this machine as a convection model. Other than that, it lives up to it's name. The recipe book that came with mine had a lot of typo's so I downloaded the book and made adjustments in my book when I thought there was an error.

I honestly do not know. I have only made dough in the machine so far. I read through the instructions and did not see any reference to gluten free but I would call the company or look on their website to see what is available. I hope this helps.

This is one of the only bread machines that I didn't have a problem removing the paddle from. After it cools off put one hand on the wing nut underneath and give it a very slight turn while holding the paddle firmly. You will feel it "pop" loose and then yo can just pull the paddle out of the bread pan.

WOW! Thanks for the speedy replys and especially the NO because I have had many breadmakers over the years and all have been good but had the automatic dispenser. I will show hubby all the "no's" I rec'd and should be ordering it soon!!! It sounds like a dream machine!!!
