Today, in this article, we will be talking about why you should leave bread a few minutes in pan after baking, and then keep it in a wired rack also why you shouldn’t use any other things to cool the bread.
Do you leave bread in pan after baking?
As you have read the introduction, the answer is completely yes. You have to leave the bread a few minutes in the pan after baking and then you should leave it in the wired rack for the bread to be cold properly.
Check the below sections for the causes.

Below are the reasons of
Why you should leave it in the pan?
You should leave the bread in the pan because when you prepare the dough, there are hell lot of moisture inside of it. When you bake it, some of the moisture goes out, and after the whole baking process, there will be some moisture trapped inside of it.
If you directly cool it without leaving it in the pan the moisture will simply go up and will soften the texture of the bread. This will not be a problem if your bread is milk bread or white bread but this is a problem if the bread is sourdough. We have talked about this problem, the causes, and everything including the solutions in this post. You can check the post for more practical information.
This is why, you should leave the bread inside the pan for a few minutes so that the existing heat in the pan or oven vaporizes the rest of the moisture of the bread.
Also leaving the bread in the pan helps to completely bake the bread. Sometimes the center of the bread stays raw even after baking and if you want to bake that part the borders or sides of the bread become hard
Why Should you cool in a wired rack?
When you are cooling the bread in a wired rack there will be enough space for the rest of the moisture to go out of the bread. If you use a container or something like that which does not have enough space for the bread to cool down then it would make the texture of the bread soggy and the taste and texture will be terrible.
So, always try to use a wired rack. And if not possible then you can use anything but make sure that there’s a little space just below the bread.
Conclusion
This is why you should never pick the bread up from the pan or take it out of the oven just after baking. And also this precaution helps us to make the texture perfect and have the greatest taste ever.
