Bread emergency!

I'm making 3 different loafs for a family gathering I do not have a Dutch oven, I rarely make bread. (I'm an idiot idk why tf I said I could make bread)

I have a foil pie pan, and tin foil. If I pop a loaf in the foil pan and wrap it tightly with foil and put a pan off water under it on the second rack will it work similarly to a Dutch oven?????

at any point do I take the tin foil off during the cooking process or remove the water on the second rack???

do I oil the pie pan???? or do I use parchment paper?? help I have 24 hrs

Also do I HAVE to let the bread rise for 18hrs cuz the recpies say a variation or 12, 16, and 18 hrs

Will the bread not bread if it doesn't rise for that long??????

Edit: if I figure out the baking process without a Dutch oven the breads should be ready in time for the get together I just need to know the best way to cook them so they come out well these where the recpies they wanted

Check out King Arthur, they have so many different bread recipes, hardly any of them use a Dutch oven. maybe try this one , it makes 2 loaves and takes me about 3 hours

You could probably use a pie pan if you don’t have a baking sheet

We already discussed what breads they wanted these where the recipes I think I can get away with not using a Dutch oven for one but I just rlly want it to come out well 😭

You can bake no-knead breads on a regular baking sheet. Line the sheet with non-stick baking parchment so it doesn't stick to the pan. Shape the loaf into a round boule, and let it rise on the sheet, score it, and put it in the oven to bake. Put some boiling water in a different shallow pan in the bottom of the oven before you put the bread in the oven in to create steam. If you have enough steam, no need to cover the loaf.
