About Byte Size Bakery
Byte Size Bakery is a recipe site for people who bake for one or two. What we cover, how we test portions and why small batches matter.
Start here
Byte Size Bakery is a home for small-batch baking. Every recipe here is written to serve one or two people.
Who it’s for
People living alone. Couples. Students with a tiny oven. Anyone who wants a warm brownie tonight without a full tray tempting them all week.
How we write recipes
- Weights in grams first, with spoon measures where they still make sense.
- Yields stated plainly: two muffins means two muffins.
- Pan sizes named, because a small batch in a big pan bakes badly.
- A note on what to do with any leftover egg, cream or buttermilk.
Why the name
A byte is a small unit that still does useful work. So is a good small bake. We like a little wordplay, but the recipes come first.
