Would this bread recipe be successful if cut in half?

I'm not a baker. I've never made anything other than an occasional banana bread or cornbread. DH & I cannot finish even a whole loaf without freezing part of it - and I only have one bread baking pan. I would appreciate any thoughts on halving the recipe. Many thanks!


Makes two loaves.

2cups warm water

1/4cup sugar

1.5 tbsp yeast

1.5 tsp salt

1/4cup vegetable oil

5.5 cups flour (I just used all purpose)

Dissolve sugar in warm water. Add yeast and let proof. Mix oil into yeast mixture once proofed.

Mix flour and salt in separate bowl.

Add dry mixture to wet mixture one cup at a time and stir / mix until soft dough forms.

Knead for 3-5 minutes.

Place in oiled bowl, turn over to coat both sides. Let rise one hour.

Punch down, shape into loaves. Place into greased bread pans. Let rise 30-40 minutes.

Bake at 350 for approx 30 minutes. Brush tops with butter while warm.
