I have recipes for 1lb loafs and don't need 1 1/2 lb loafs (I live alone). I figure it's the bake cycle that needs to be shortened (maybe?). Does anyone have any experience with this?

Your recipes will turn out fine. Just set the cycle called for and check before it's finished so it doesn't burn. You might want to set a timer to remind yourself.

Does your bread machine have a setting for a 1lb loaf? If it doesn't have any settings for loaf sizes, I would think that you could safely make a 1 pound loaf without any problem. I wouldn't even change the time of the bake cycle. However, if you have to specify a loaf size, and one pound isn't one of the choices, I'd just use it to make dough and bake the bread in the oven.
My old machine didn't have any size settings, and the recipes were for 1, 1-1/2 and 2 pound loaves. I tried all three settings, and they all came out fine. When my bread machine finally gave up the ghost, after better than a decade of heavy use, I got a new one, but of a different brand. (I couldn't find the old brand anymore.) This one has different settings which must be chosen for the different sized loaves. It only has settings for a 1-1/2lb and a 2lb loaf. I haven't yet tried it for anything except the 2lb loaf.
If you decide to use the dough setting, put the finished dough in a greased loaf pan, cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, and bake it in a preheated 350F oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until done.
Or you could just try it and see how a 1lb loaf would come out using the machine. The ingredients aren't that expensive, and the machine does all the work, so it wouldn't even be a lot of wasted effort if it doesn't work.

We should trade machines. I have an old 1 lb loaf sized Black & Decker (they don't make them anymore). When I baked bread (years ago) I always used a 1 1/2 lb loaf recipe in my 1 lb loaf machine. I was lazy and thought that since I was putting aside some time to make bread, it should be as large as possible.
I just followed the recipe for the ingredients and set the machine for the correct type of bread.
If successful, the 1 1/2 lb bread would be beautiful but rise well over the pan, probably touching the bread machine lid. It wasn't the most beautiful shape -- just tasted good and had the right texture when finished.
I imagine that your 1 lb loaf of bread, if successful, would rise below the top of the 1 1/2 lb loaf sized pan.

go to bread machine digest dot com and download their bread recipe creator program for free. you can adjust the size of your loaf in that program and make it according to what you have on hand. i dont remember the name of the program though- just that i got it there.
u shouldnt have to make any changes though... i would just make the 1.5 lb loaf and make the remaining bread into bread crumbs for cooking with. (and freeze them to prevent mold)

4 cups of flour is only 1 pound. There are 20 cups of flour in a 5 pound bag.

I haven't, but just reduce your recipe by 1/3rd and let the machine run as if you had a full load
