So, just make sure it's done before removing from oven. I used a cake tester to test, tested until it came out clean. You can use a toothpick for same results.

It did rise about 1-inch over the top of pan, but it didn't run over. Perhaps this could be put into 2 loaf pans and baked for 45 minutes.
