Is it done Yet?

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!

Quick Breads and Cakes: 

• 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.
