With halving the loaf, I only let it rise 30 minutes instead of the full 60, and baked it about the same amount of time.

It's a pretty simple recipe that I'm sure could have a million add ons into it. I'm thinking of adding some homegrown herbs to it the next time I make a batch, and maybe making a larger batch and being able to make a few raw doughs and keeping them until we need bread again.
