My baker's bread is consistently undercooked. What can I do?!
Answers: They appear to like it that way, so they won't change the cooking time. Is there something I can do at home, like cooking it some more? Toasting doesn't do it. You just get burnt outside, raw inside.
wrap the loaf (at room temperature, not cold from the refrigerator) in parchment paper then in a layer of aluminum foil, poke holes in it to let the steam escape and put it into an oven preheated to 375* to 400* and finish baking it .... should take about 15 minutes ... unwrap carefully .... if it is not right, put it back for another 10 minutes

Not enough of yeast or baking powder?
When you get home, wrap the bread in foil and put it in the oven on breadbaking heat (I think 350?) and bake for an extra 10 minutes. The foil helps keep the outside from burning.
Try wrapping it in foil and baking it for a while. That should help the heat stay in a little better and get the inside cooked without making the outside rock-hard.
Of course, I would just find a new baker.
change bakers, tell him to lower the oven temp and leave it in the oven longer, his oven is too hot, the out side is done way sooner than the inside
Why don't you simply buy your bread somewhere else? I see no point whatever in continuing to spend your hard-earned money on a faulty product and even less on spending time repeatedly trying to "fix" the bread.
Why would you continue to buy your bread from this baker? If there are no other bakers where you live you could always bake bread yourself. Good Luck. C
