WHY WE LOVE IT: See the long loaf and rolls pictured above? They represent examples of what we consider the Zo's best use: kneading dough, then taking it out to shape as you please and bake in your oven. The Zo does indeed knead dough more effectively—and with much less user-time and effort—than any other appliance we've tried. There's nothing easier than putting the ingredients into the bucket, pushing "start," and coming back 90 minutes later to thoroughly kneaded, beautifully risen dough. Make pizza, breadsticks, dinner rolls, focaccia, sweet braids—anything you like. And sure, you can bake a loaf in the machine, if you want. But we prefer having a little creative fun and going beyond the standard loaf. Zo makes it simple.

I just made my first loaf of bread in my new machine and it was wonderful. It rose beautifully and was soft & tender.I was wondering what is the difference in the wheat and basic cycles? If you look in the manual the times for kneading & rising are basically the same.
I think the white cycle has a slightly longer third rise. Mary@KAF

I love my Zo. I've had it a few years now and use is a few times a week. For those of you having problems removing baked bread from the machine - I remove the paddles just before the final rise and coat the posts with just a small amount of shortening. The bread does not stick to the posts and slides right out of the bucket when complete.

We've had our Zo for about a year. Initially we had a problem with misshapen loaves--all at one side of the pan. The paddles were moving freely, so that wasn't the problem. I called the manufacturer, and a nice fellow said that lopsided loaves were often the result of a too-stiff dough, which, in turn, was often the result of measuring flour by scooping flour out of the bin with the measuring cup, rather than spooning the flour into the measuring cup. So, either spoon the flour lightly into the cup, or simply weigh the flour (one standard cup=4 3/8 ounces or 126 g. all-purpose flour). Works great!
Thanks for sharing your tips and success. Both our All Purpose and Bread Flours measure 4.25 (or 4 1/4) ounces per cup. We also encourage bread machine users to check the consistency of the dough after mixing and during kneading. Add liquid if necessary to get the right dough consistency. Irene @ KAF

Since we moved to Mongolia in 2008 I've done more baking than ever before. KAF was recommended by a colleague here and my family and I have been delighted with everything ordered from KAF.
I bought the Zo last year and have not purchased bread since. I use KAF ingredients (I have a DPO mailing address!) and the Zo runs on a transformer. I started with the basic white bread recipe that came in the booklet with the machine but have switched to the light rye.
I do place the blades facing the same direction, then add water. I put all the dry ingredients except the yeast in a separate bowl and stir to mix them together. I weigh the butter and cut in small pieces and mix that through the dry ingredients. Then I carefully spoon the dry ingredients evenly over the water making sure thy are level. Finally, I make a hollow in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in two tsp active yeast. I use the basic wheat setting.
For the light rye I add one tsp of rye enhancer and one tbl of caraway seeds.
When measuring the flour, I spoon it gently into the measuring cups and level with a flat edge. After reading FAQs on the Zo website, I may measure the flour as well.
The only time our bread was a bit heavy was when one of the boys made it and scooped the flour and tapped the cups to get as much in as possible!
I've also made delicious pizza dough with the Zo using the dough enhancer.
We really love our Zo!

What fun! I've always made bread by hand, very satisfying though it takes time. To try out the bread machine, I used a KAF bread mix, so add water, butter, mix, make a small well in the mix, pour in the yeast, close the lid, and press start. The scent of baking bread, a ping, and a wonderful loaf of bread. Oh, my.

I hesitated to get this bread machine because I remember the first bread machines that came out years ago and did not like the "steamed" quality of the bread. HOWEVER, I am so glad I got the Zo!! It is terriffic! The first 2 loaves that I made I baked in the Zo and they were good (my kids liked them). But my husband and I really like the artisan breads so since then, I have used it for the bread dough function (as recommended by the KAF bakers) almost on a daily basis! And I have to say they are great! It is easy to use and quiet. Right now, I am using it for my sourdough pizza crust! Thanks again KAF, another great recommendation...

I have had the zoji bread machine for years. Love it, I usually use the dough setting and bake 3 smaller loaves in the oven. Also make dough for cinnamon rolls, pizzza crust etc.

Is the Zo perfect? No. Is it nearly so? You bet. This is a tool, and as with any tool, there's a learning curve. In addition, bread baking is a wonderful chemistry experiment...too much or too little of this or that and the whole thing goes blooey. The Zo makes the process a lot easier, but you still need to experiment and tweak--which is part of the fun. I've had my Zo for 3 months now, and am absolutely delighted with it. Have 4-5 favorite recipes, and several others still in the process of being perfected.

I bought two Zo's before Xmas. One for me and one for my daughter. This is the perfect machine -- quiet, easy to use and make great bread. I had a Cuisinart that my husband bought be two years ago that never turned out a decent loaf of bread. I am now making bread every other day as well as rolls during the weekend. I'm sooo glad I bout a Zo!!

I have used other machines but like this one because it has the warm up cycle. All my breads had come out beautifully. I used the added cycle for the first time and it mixed up the way it was suppose to.
