To make half this recipe that is use only 4 cups of flour does the amount of yeast and salt also need to be reduced? I have seen recipes that use 4 cups of flour with 1 tablespoon of both salt and yeast. Also, does it help to add vital gluten? Yes, if you halve this recipe everything except the yeast, should be cut in half. No, vital wheat gluten is not a good idea, it will toughen the baguettes. Frank @ KAF.
