List of baked goods

Breads at a restaurant

This is a list of baked goods. Baked goods are foods made from dough or batter and cooked by baking, ^[1] a method of cooking food that uses prolonged dry heat, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones. The most common baked item is bread but many other types of foods are baked as well.
