I have written about making bread before (6/20/14 and 1/10/15), but the recipies I was using made several loaves at a time. I wanted to try scaling the recipe to make just one loaf, either because I wouldn’t be using it soon enough, or because I want to try a specialty loaf. I made the basic recipe, and it worked out fine. If you want to try it and don’t have a big 6-quart container, a large mixing bowl will work.  Here are the proportions;

1 c. (8 oz.) Water
2 c. (10.6 oz.) Flour
3 gr. Yeast
8 gr. Salt

You might want to cut back on the water by about an ounce-I thought my dough came out a little on the loose side, so the loaf spread out more than I would have liked. You could also use a small bread pan, especially if you don’t have a pizza stone.
