Lovely little loaves.

Beautiful crumb. I think I'll go start a batch of sourdough no-knead bread to bake in the morning.
Do you have the recipe for this loaf? I've been trying to bake some smaller sourdough loaves as I can never finish a full one by myself
thanks
Do you have a favourite? If so what is the recipe and how big a loaf do you want?
This is the recipe I'm using :
It works well for me since I am a beginner with sourdough, I have good results each time.
I'm just not so sure how to scale down the recipe. The loaf is around 900G, I would prefer half that size
For the sponge
About 150ml active starter (see recipe above)
250g strong flour (white, wholemeal or a mixture of the two)
For the loaf
300g strong bread flour (white, wholemeal or a mixture), plus more for dusting
1 tbsp rapeseed or olive oil
10g fine sea salt
Just half all the ingredients.
If you have a 900g loaf and want a size that isn't exactly half, say 650g, then here is a formula.
Divide the total weight you want by the original weight. Then multiply each of the ingredients by the answer. Go to 4 decimal places then round up or down to the nearest whole number.
So 650g / 900g (to 4 decimal places). Then whatever the number is multiply each of the ingredients by that number.
