When finished baking (in the oven) I take the loaves out of the pans, place on a towel, spray a mist of water all over them (yes even the bottom as I don't like a hard crust) and then cover the loaves with a doubled cotton dishtowel and let cool. I never have wrinkles in the bread and the bread has never been "dry". I learned the water misting from the SUBWAY restaurants. It's what they do with their bread once they take it out of the oven.
