Hi all sour dough bakers out there!
I find sometimes my bread is a bit wet or moist on the inside. I'm wondering if it has to do with baking time? I bake it covered on 500 for 20 minutes and then uncovered on 450 for 20 minutes. Would it help to bake longer or maybe different temps? Or maybe it doesn't have eto do with the baking time and its something else? Any tips and info would be greatly appreciated!!!

I bake mine in a dutch oven on 450 for 30 mins covered and 30 mins uncovered. I also preheat the dutch oven first.

I preheat to 500 with the Dutch oven in the oven. When I put the dough in, I lower to 450. Bake covered 30 minutes, uncovered 15 minutes

Do you cut it open when hot? I find that if I don’t let it cool down enough it gets wet inside..

Yes, I always bake it in a Dutch oven thats been preheated.
Interesting to see different baking temperatures and timing. I think I'll play around with that and see what happens.
And no, we don't cut it open while hot so that can't be the issue.

Are you sure it's the baking time and not the recipe?

I bake 20 minutes covered at 500 and 30 minutes uncovered at 400.

I'm not sure what it is. I'm assuming it's the baking time, just like when underbaking a cake it remains a bit runny mushy in the center. But really I don't know what it is.
I'm thinking to play around with the baking time and see if it makes a difference.
Or if anyone has experience on how to help the issue I'd love to know what it is.

Use less water / add a tbsp or two more flour to your recipe .

You can get a baking thermometer and check the internal temperature of the bread to see if it's done. It should be about 200-205

almost the same. 375 of water and 12 salt.
Always comes out great. I preheat with Dutch oven at 500, bake 20 minutes, uncover and lower to 450, bake 25 minutes.

Oh and I put two icecubes into the Duch oven between the pan and the parchment paper.
