Amy, it sounds like you might want to bake the loaf on a large sheet pan or a Jumbo Sheet Cake Pan (15" by 21"), depending on the size of your oven. A loaf of this size will take quite a while to bake all the way through. You should be prepared to tent it with foil once the crust gets nicely golden brown and continue to bake until an instant read thermometer reads at least 190°F when inserted into the center. (You can test from the bottom to avoid from marring the pretty appearance.) Congratulations to your niece, and good luck! Kye@KAF
