Baking
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 are baked. Heat is gradually transferred “from the surface of cakes, cookies, and bread to their center. Baking can be combined with grilling to produce a hybrid barbecue variant by using both methods simultaneously, or one after the other.
