Does anyone bake their own bread? Baking time help.

I often bake bread the lazy way. 1 kg of flour, bung everything in, dump it on a baking tray and bake at 220 steam for 15 mins and then 190 for 20-25 mins.

What happens if I want to make smaller loaves? I bought a baguette baking tray so I was just going to split the dough into 3, roll it out and put it in each section. Do I need to alter the baking time from my standard? I'm thinking that if the loaves are thinner rather than a lump, they will need less time. Is this correct? But less high temp, less low temp, less of both proportionally....

I wouldn’t be inclined to overthink it, TBH. Cut down the ‘hot’ time to around 5-7 mins and after that, see how it goes. You’re experienced enough to know when it’s done, so check the loaves at 15-20 on 190 to begin with, and then make a note of when they are done. Steam setting? Lucky you. 😁
