Yes, too bad, probably too small.
The original Lahey recipe called for 3c flour in the main part of the bread (not the starter) and this one calls for 4 cups.
Options -
1) eventually buy a larger oven proof pan if you have enough use for it.
2) for now, try making one-third or half this recipe .
3) make an entirely different that can fit in one of your available pans.

Gina- good luck with the small loaf. Remember to check at about half and 3/4 the original baking time - it will probably be done sooner.
