My grandmother and my Aunt Mary, who baked bread every day of their adult lives, both taught me to never stick ANYTHING into bread while it is baking. It will cause the air-bubble structure of the bread to collapse. You've been lucky that it hasn't happened, however, a collapsed loaf of bread make a good door stop. <br /><br />The best way to tell if a loaf of bread is done is to gingerly remove the loaf into you hand and thump it on the bottom using your index finger and thumb (as you would a melon) in the middle of the loaf. If the sound it makes is a low hollow sounding thump, your bread is done. If it is a higher pitched dud sounding thump, then it just needs a couple more minutes. Return the loaf to the pan and put back in the oven.<br /><br />When I took baking in school, after learning about meats and veggies where temperatures were taken, to my surprise, my teachers warned us not to stick anything into baking bread or biscuits. They also taught the thump method. <br /><br />If you have purchased less-than-done bread in the store, it is because the bread was not thumped to check if it is fully baked, but strickly baked using the time method which NEVER works.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678858537047066416noreply@blogger.com
