Yes, you can halve the recipe. Rolls will take less time than the loaves. I recommend making the full recipe and freezing part of it – that is what we do!

Recipe sounds great but we’re only 2 people. Can I halve this recipe? If I make rolls will the baking time be shorter than making loaves?

I have made this recipe about 5 times now and love it. Im in NE Florida and it’s humid and hot out and I use 6 cups of bread flour. Last night I made it and put it in my 2.2 lb Pullman loaf pan with a lid and it was the perfect amount of dough and baked beautifully at 400 for 25 minutes. I sliced and froze it to see how well it reheated, I just pulled a few pieces and put them right in my toaster for some toast and it was perfect.

Turned out soooo yummy!! Followed the directions with the egg wash and covered my loaves about 15 mins through cooking so they wouldn’t get too brown. Cooked on a baking stone and it was perfectly crispy on the top and bottom and chewy in the middle! Definitely saving this recipe. Tastes exactly like a French baguette.

No, I have never changed the ingredients in this recipe. You may be thinking of a different recipe. Please rate this on the recipe itself, not on what you thought it was. Thank you.

I thought i made your recipe once, and it was wonderful for everyone, but i could’ve sworn it had olive oil in it, and a good amount. Did you change that part too?

In reply to Frash.

I have to add more flour as well. I also use bread flour. Otherwise I love this recipe
