Hi Yolanda -
I generally make roughly two pound loaves; there are five of us and they go
quickly. For French style breads (baguettes, batard, focaccia) the oven
should be at 500 F. For everything else, I use 350 F. Most breads take
about 45 minutes. With a 1.5 pound loaf, I would check after 35 to 40
minutes. Either knock on the bottom, listening for that hollow sound, or
buy one of those bread thermometers. It should be 190 to 200 F. A 1.5
pound loaf would make one loaf pan of bread.
