Baking Pizzelle Bread?

[Marleneann]

I make a Pizzelle Bread that is delicious; the only problem is that it makes 2 loaves and takes an hour and 20 minutes to bake. By the time the middle is baked the outer edges and bottom look as though they are burnt offerings. The bread is still moist and good inside; does anyone have any idea how I can prevent the burning and still make certain the bread is thoroughly baked?
Here is the Recipe:
Aunt Sundales Pizzelle Bread:
Grease 2 Loaf Pans
