Change bun size of recipe

Hi guys. 
I’ve been making a brioche bun recipe for a few years now and love it. 

my question is if I want to make buns half or a third the size how would I alter the recipe?

would I cut the cook time by half?

any thoughts are greatly appreciated

On the front side, that is. For this first bake at the adjusted size buns, I would keep a close eye and play it by ear. Take good notes and add the new timing to the recipe.

brioche buns, the Roadside Pie King way!

I make various size brioche hamburger buns. I have a lot of details in my blog post here: Hamburger Brioche Buns | The Fresh Loaf

There are a few useful links to Stella Culinary on sizes and how to scattered throughout the comments. I hope you find this useful.

Cheers,

Gavin
