Why did you put the loaf pan on a cookie sheet instead of setting it directly on the wire oven rack?
You can definitely put the pan directly on the rack. Using a baking sheet, especially in our higher wall ovens can make taking the loaf in and out of the oven easier. ~ MaryJaneIt's also a "just in case" if the pan isn't QUITE big enough - remember, when I take the pictures, I'm testing the recipe. A baking sheet lined with parchment has saved me many an oven cleanup when testing recipes in different pans! PJH
