No, you just make(use) enough for one bread pan. Mozz comes in small
amounts, you can get small jars of marinar sauce, you can get small
amounts of sausage or ground beef. Or, if you must get larger
amounts, the two bread pans will use a full recipe of lasagna, or all
the other ingredients freeze well. Or, you can just try to figure out
something else.
