half the recipe = half the baking time?

[NovelMama]

I'm making a baked ziti dish for dinner but want to halve the recipe. Does that mean I can halve the baking time as well?

I would cut the oven time but not by half. It depends on the dish you are using too.

It will probably take close to the same time, maybe 10-20% less.

No-it will cook for close to the same time....

Baked ziti is really just needing to get hot throughout and have flavors meld (ingredients are already cooked before baking), so I'd just keep an eye on it...
