Yeast Breads:
- Make sure your pan is in the middle of the oven and leave some space around pans, if baking more than one.
- Tap the crust lightly with your knuckles - listen for a hollow sound. It's done!
- When a wooden pick or a cake tester inserted in the thickest part comes out clean, with no crumbs, it's done!
- If your quick bread - like banana bread, etc. has a crack down the middle, don't check for doneness in this crack. Try right next to it.
- Most will pull away from the sides of the pan a bit when done.
