May 2, 2020 - THUMP THUMP THUMP. Yeast bread bakers have traditionally tested their loaves for doneness by tapping on the bottom and listening for a distinctive hollow thump: a perfectly good method. But for those of us who don't like juggling blistering hot loaves in order to get at their bottoms for the thump test, there's another method: taking the bread's internal temperature. Using a thermometer with yeast bread not only saves you the "hot potato" juggle, it offers excellent guidance — if you know how to interpret your temperature results.
