Bread not cooking (picture)
This is the second time I've had this proble with this recipe. Daphne Oz power pumpkin bread. Followed it exactly and after the 35 mins I took it out and the toothpick came out clean so I let it rest for a couple of h. When I cut into it, it was still pretty raw on only the top area so I put it back in at same temp on the top rack at 10 mins and it was STILL about the same so I put it again and STILL!!! Why? This is what it is now

I suspect it might be the recipe! I might look at some other recipes for a similar item on the web, and then compare what happened.
I looked at the recipe and I am wondering if your oven is hot enough or your baking powder or baking soda is out of date.
Hope this helps!
new recipe would be good I reckon, unless your oven doesnt work properly...?
Brand new oven. Also fresh ingredients. Just don't know
what flour is it?
Whole wheat
baking a loaf once it has cooled from the oven temperature.
1) Wrap tightly in microwave wrap and nuke it at high for a few minutes. The waves head straight for the moisture.
or
2) Cut the loaf lengthwise down the middle and expose the unbaked portion to the hot oven. Just tossing the loaf back into the oven doesn't work because the baked area of the crumb insulates the unbaked middle. Cutting it open lets the oven heat finish baking the bread. It may not be picture perfect but it will taste and keep longer when completely baked.
Emphatically Yes! By checking the internal temp you can avoid those mishaps.
Before removing the loaf from the oven, check the temperature of the interior of the loaf. Insert sensor part of an instant reading thermometer into the middle of the loaf. The thermometer should read at least 195°F (91°C). If the temperature is less, return the loaf to the interior of the oven and bake until the interior of the loaf is this high.
Let the bread tell you when it is done, not the clock! Also, check the oven temperature with a thermometer; don't rely on the oven setting to be correct.

Thanks all
