How to know when bread is fully baked

Knowing when bread has baked fully can be tricky! The top may be perfectly golden, but how do you know the inside is baked all the way through? You can test your bread two ways:

1. Tap on the top of the loaf and listen for a hollow sound.
2. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
3. For the most accurate result, use an instant-read thermometer and pull the loaf out of the oven when it reaches 190°F.
