Barbara Moore asked what temperature bread should reach in order to make 
sure that it is done.  The magic number is 190F minimum, Barbara.  I shoot 
for 195F to 200F, depending upon the type of bread.
I sometimes use this trick:  If the temperature is close to 190F, but I 
don't want the loaf to brown anymore, I turn off the oven and leave the 
loaf in for a few minutes.  I've never been disappointed with a minimum of 
190F.

Good luck.
