A too-small dutch oven
I bought a dutch oven to bake artisan bread at home oven. My previous lodge dutch oven was too big and I prefer to have a smaller one to bake a smaller bread. Unfortunately, it's too small.
Should I still use it to bake artisan bread? Does it make sense to make small artisan bread?
The full details of the item is at the link below.

it's cute! so cute!
Does it make sense? I don't know. For one person maybe the right size. Could also slip into a toaster oven.
It looks like you pot has a diameter of about 13-14 cm. A loaf that size is more like a large roll IMO. I'd prefer something larger, even for just my wife and me, because it's basically the same amount of effort to bake a larger loaf as one so small. But that's just me.
If I had six or eight small pots, that would be different since I could make a batch of small rolls / loaves instead of just one.
Yes, i am thinking to have 2-3 such small pot and cook mini artisan bread.
So I just make the same recipe but instead of shape into 1 size of 18-20cm, i put into 2 pot of 14 cm.
