I've used this exact recipe without adjustments, except skipping the carraway seeds, in a standard dark non-stick 4.5 x 8.5 bread pan with great results. All of the dough in one loaf. Frankly, I get a better rise from this bread that I do with my standard white loaf. This dough makes a nice tall, moist loaf - almost over-sized. I add three slashes without risk of deflation. Absolutely scrumptious for grilled cheese or just tear off chunks with soup. This recipe continues to wow my table. Still haven't tried incorporating sourdough starter (thanks for the tip Susan), but I'm about to.
