how long to bake bread at 350

The baking time for bread at 350°F (175°C) can vary greatly depending on the type of bread, its size, shape, and the level of doneness desired. Here are some general guidelines for common types of bread:

1. White bread:

   • Loaf (9×5 inches): 25-35 minutes
   • Baguette (12-14 inches): 15-20 minutes
   • Rolls (6-8): 12-15 minutes

2. Whole wheat bread:

   • Loaf (9×5 inches): 35-40 minutes
   • Baguette (12-14 inches): 20-25 minutes
   • Rolls (6-8): 15-18 minutes

3. Sourdough bread:

   • Loaf (9×5 inches): 40-50 minutes
   • Baguette (12-14 inches): 25-30 minutes
   • Rolls (6-8): 18-22 minutes

4. French bread:

   • Baguette (12-14 inches): 20-25 minutes
   • Boule (round loaf): 30-40 minutes

5. Italian bread:

   • Loaf (9×5 inches): 25-35 minutes
   • Ciabatta (12-14 inches): 15-20 minutes
   • Focaccia (12-14 inches): 15-20 minutes

Remember, these are general guidelines. The best way to determine if your bread is done is to check its internal temperature, which should be around 190°F (88°C) to 200°F (93°C) for most types of bread. You can also check for doneness by tapping the bottom of the loaf; if it sounds hollow, it’s likely done.

Keep an eye on your bread while it’s baking, as oven temperatures can vary. If you’re unsure, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and bake for a few minutes longer.
