did the center come out correct?
I find that with breads sometimes the center comes out too wet or floury.
I have a bread machine that I used only twice. I didn't like the bread at all.

Yes, it came out great!
Of course it's a thing of practice (and also knowing your oven) to get it right.

The center isn't cooked cause they are put back in the gravy (sauce) to finish cooking and firming up is a by product too.

They are really good.
I am far from a chef and they would be insulted by my methods and techniques.
