Does anyone know how to adjust temperature and time when baking yeast
breads (specifically wheat bread) in mini loaves instead of the regular
size? Thanks!

I am pretty sure you will reduce time but not change the temp. Can't tell
you how much I am afraid.

Peter, I'm afraid, too. But what the heck; I'll give the reduced time a
try. Thanks much!

There are a few recipes on this page (annoyingly laid out though):

I don't adjust the temperature. How large is a mini loaf? I typically
bake my breads at about 375° for a lot less time than the recipes
specify. * I watch the color of the top of the loaf and when it looks
nicely colored, I tip it from the pan and rap the bottom to test for
firmness and a hollowish sound. You can check it with a thermometer --
I think 185 is the 'done' temp for bread. Might want to check on that,
though.

*I like to preheat to 425 for oven spring, put the loaf in and reduce
the temp to 375.

I go to 202º - give or take a degree or two. (202 is an easy number to
remember for 200-205.)
If you are baking at 375 for 35-40 minutes for a regular loaf, try 25
minutes to start testing.

I made bread last week for the first time in ages. The recipe made 2
loaves. I split the dough in two and formed one half into a loaf pan
the way the book said. I took the rest and made it into a sort of sweet
roll that I call a snail with jam and raisins rolled up inside. I
didn't count, but I'd guess I made around 10. I put them in the same
oven, obviously at the same heat (350). I checked for browness before
taking them out. The loaf took around an hour. The snails took around
20 minutes.


Conclusion: Don't change the oven temperature. Do check the
mini-loaves frequently and take them out when they're done.
