One of the biggest challenges with baking bread is often that the tops/edges of the bread burn while the middle is still doughy. The trick to preventing this is to cover your bread tightly with foil for the last five or ten minutes of baking. This allows the middle section to continue to cook, and helps prevent the outside of the bread from browning. In this specific recipe, cook the bread for 50-55 minutes, and then test the middle of the bread with a toothpick. If the middle is still doughy, cover the bread with foil and bake for another 5 minutes or until the toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.
