I made two loaves of this tonight and they didn’t turn out. The middles are gooey and they fell terribly. The taste is okay, but this isn’t a recipe I’ll be using again.
Thank you for the feedback, Katharine. I’m so sorry these didn’t turn out! I hate when that happens.

You need to cook them as long as they need. I actually went almost an hour and a half on convection until top was firm. It was good for a long while but it’s fully cooked and good. Sometimes the time amount your given is conservative and consider also where you’re located.
