underburnt
Not cooked enough
Underburnt describes something, typically brick, pottery, or ceramics, that hasn't been fired at a high enough temperature or for long enough in a kiln.
The result is material that's weaker, more porous, or softer than properly fired ware.
The underburnt bricks crumbled after just one winter.
In baking, underburnt can describe bread or pastry that's pale and underdone rather than properly browned.
