Hi, Stefanie. It's possible your oven is running a little hot; I would lower the temperature and plan on a longer bake. Also, worth checking your thermometer's accuracy; dip it in some boiling water and make sure it's reading 212°F. One last thing to try is a bit longer time with the lid off to allow moisture to escape for a little longer time. Susan
