Its been too long and I dont have notes... so.

If I want to make a loaf of SD as opposed the a boule, what size dough batch? Normal boule recipe I use is 500g flour. I think I tried this once before and it was WAY over the top...like ridiculous. Tasty but hard to make a sami.

Would splitting a 500g batch work in two loaf pans?

I remember you split a batch ( whatever size it was ) and it was way short .
This is a 500 gram flour batch . Standard loaf pan .

My memory is not as good as yours! Many thanks!
I also use a standard pan.
Thank you!
All I make is loafs and use 500. I use those cast iron pans.
Good to know. I have some nonstick ones that are a smidge bigger than the cast iron ones.

Next batch is a loaf with a 500g batch of dough. thanks all!
 
AH HAH that was a white yeast bread. Yeast bread is much more difficult at this elevation...at least that is what it feels like. Next loaf is SD for sure.
 
The loaves (as opposed to the boules) I post here ARE one pan size at 500gm flour. That is the determining factor it seems as bakers % is based on flour weight.

REMEMBER: take into account the flour in the starter you are incorporating and/or levain in addition to the 'bulk' flour.
 
Most bread pans are a 1# loaf?
I usually do a discard for a loaf recipe. Cannot find my notes
 
Lodge cast iron loaf pans, cant beat em. I just did 750g each with no issues.
