Why a focaccia bread is crispy on the outside and uncooked on the inside?

The Dough Isn't Room Temperature When You Bake It Your bread warms up from the outside in. This is because the internal parts of the bread do not have any contact with air that is warmer therefore your bread will always be cooler on the inside than on the outside until it hs had enough time to level out.

Why is my bread crust so thick?

A thick and hard crust on your bread is primarily caused by overbaking or baking in a temperature that's too high. Make sure that you adjust the temperature of your oven to suit the type of bread that you're making.

How long should bread cool before cutting?

It's important to allow bread to cool all the way, or until it's just barely warm, to complete the cooking process before cutting. Rolls will take only about 20 minutes to cool. Bread baked in a loaf pan can take as long as 1 hour and a large free-form loaf can take as long as 1 1/2 hours to cool.

Can you eat bread straight from the oven?

Of course you do not. I expect that the first few loaves that anyone makes, or the first couple of loaves you've taken a break from bread baking and start back up again, will be eaten fresh from the oven. ... All of the structure of the crumb will disappear if you cut into the bread early.

Should you let bread cool in the pan?

Let quick bread loaves cool a few minutes in the pan (follow recipe directions), then carefully remove from pan to a wire cooling rack. The steam that condenses during standing makes these quick breads easier to remove from the baking pan. ... Quick bread loaves which are cooled in the pan too long may become soggy.
