Thanks Becky for pointing Kitchen friends in the right direction! Yes, Zeruiah you can bake this in various pans. Just make sure you adjust the baking time.
I tried it once when I saw it in the rnecet column. Bread was very dense, pretty flat, but tasty. I am going to keep experimenting until I get it right. Maybe.
