Question about the Honeyed Spelt & Oat Sourdough recipe
Hi All,
I’m making this for the second time, thanks to Abe for recommending it. He mentions that it can make one large loaf or two smaller ones which I did the first time. I’m feeling a bit lazy today and am considering just making one large loaf but am somewhat hesitant.
Has anyone made this just as one large loaf and if so do cooking temps and time vary drastically?
Thanks!

Sorry Sharon but upon checking the book it says it makes two loaves. Not one large loaf or two small loaves. The single loaf was my reworking in red. However there's no reason why you couldn't make one large loaf if you have the banneton to fit. It's have to be a very large banneton though.
I think you can follow the instructions as is and bake until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
What did you decide in the end?
Hi Abe,
When I put the dough on the counter after bulk fermentation, it just looked too big for one so in the end, I went with two. Interesting as I ended up using two different Dutch ovens because I needed one for something else and had to bake the second one a few hours later. It was a good test though because I think that one pot gives me a better rise than the other one, so that was informative.
