* I baked in an Emile Henry ceramic loaf pan. At 350 degrees, I found it took a lot longer than the 1 hour recommended cooking time. It could be my oven, it could be the pan, but I continued to cook (about an hour and a half), until a knife came out clean. The loaf tasted super delicious, but may be too brown for some people. I may try cooking at 325 degrees next time, to see if it browns less. Your results may be entirely different on the length of time to cook, and browning process, but the taste and moisture in this loaf will not be effected, certainly if it wasn’t in the hour and a half it took to cook mine. My loaf was still super moist!
