Baking, Downsized to Fit Your Table
Small-batch recipes scaled for one or two people: four cookies, two muffins, one tiny loaf. Less waste, fresh bakes, no week of leftovers.
Start here
Most recipes assume a crowd. Twenty-four cookies. A cake for twelve. A loaf that goes stale before you reach the end. Byte Size Bakery shrinks baking down to the size of a real household of one or two, so you can bake on a Tuesday night and finish what you made.
Why bake small
Less waste
Make what you will eat in a day or two. Nothing gets binned.
Faster bakes
Smaller portions mix quickly and often bake in less time.
More variety
Try a new recipe each week without committing to a tray of it.
The source code of a small bake
Weigh it
Grams scale cleanly. Cups and spoons do not.
Split the egg
Whisk it, weigh it, use half. Freeze or scramble the rest.
Shrink the pan
Ramekins, mini loaf tins and a quarter sheet do most of the work.
