Baking is a method of preparing food that uses dry heat, typically in an
oven, but can also be done in hot ashes, or on hot stones. The most
common baked item is bread but many other types of foods can be baked.
The art of baking remains a fundamental skill and is important for
nutrition, as baked goods, especially bread, are a common and important
food, both from an economic and cultural point of view.
