When I unmolded it is semi firm and I cut a couple of small bars to test out and there were droplets of oil inside…. It did seem to trace well and set up very good in the mold. What are some possible reasons that this happened or do I need to let it sit longer before I cut the rest of the loaf? Thanks for any troubleshooting tips you may be able to help with. Thank you!
