I know this is an old post, but I'm hoping someone will be there to answer my question. I tried the recipe straight from the book and I could never get it quite right. I was very excited to find an adapted recipe here because KAF recipes have never failed me. I have done two loaves so far both of which have not turned out. The first one I realized was underdone. I have a tendency to get worried that the loaves will burn and take them out too soon. The second one, however, I left in the oven for nearly an hour. I used my thermometer to check the internal temp and it was at 200 when I took it out. It looked gorgeous on the outside so I was very excited to cut into it. I waited until it was completely cool and it still looks underdone. It is kind of waxy and gummy looking. It is very dense. Am I still not letting it bake long enough? I have an oven thermometer and I know that it was at 450 the entire time it baked (or at least as close to that as I could manage). I have enough for one more loaf so I'm hoping someone can reply before I attempt it again. Thanks! Hmm it sounds like a few things could be going on. I would suggest calling our Baker's Hotline so we can troubleshoot your problem together.-Jon 1-802-649-3717
