This is my favorite bread recipe. However, there are only two of us, and it takes us 3 days to go through a loaf of bread this large. Can we reduce the recipe in half and get similar results? Or can this dough be stored in a container in the fridge so I can pull out what I need when ready to bake? Thanks! A yeast dough can be kept in the fridge for a fairly long period of time as long as you reduce the yeast by about 30% and extend the rising time before baking by twice as long (depending on how cool your dough is in the fridge and how cool your kitchen is). I also find that slicing up half the loaf and freezing the slices (keeping them sealed in an airtight container in my freezer) keeps them fresh for weeks! Just pop a frozen slice into the toaster and enjoy! Kim@KAF
