Howdy,

Actually, that "mistake" worked to your advantage.

In France, it is not legal to sell bread while it is still
warm from the oven.

That is rooted in a taste issue.

When a bread is warm from the bake, it still has in it all
sorts of byproducts of fermentation that will give it subtle
off tastes.

As it cools, those materials evaporate. As a result, it will
have its best taste after it cools, and is then re-warmed.

All the best,
