Bake:

- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
