3. Place the log in the prepared pan, cover, and let it rise for 60 to 90 minutes, until it crests about 1" over the rim of the pan., Preheat the oven to 350°F., Bake the bread for 40 to 50 minutes, until it's light gold and a digital thermometer inserted into the center reads 190°F., Remove the bread from the oven, and after a couple of minutes turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool.
