Bake

Baking is a method of cooking with dry heat, usually in an oven. It is one of the oldest methods for cooking. But historically it could include methods of cooking over hot stones or hot enclosed areas. Most cakes, pastries, pies, tarts, quiches, cookies, scones, and crackers are baked. Many methods of making dough go back in time as far as 2600 B.C. to Egyptians. The heat is usually transferred from the surface to the center of the food. Almost any type of food can be baked. Baking and roasting are very similar and somewhat interchangeable.
