Bread was baked every day, except some cases bread was made for a week. A cross was cut on top of the bread. Some say it bakes quicker more say it is just a habit that the people got in on. The name of the vessel in which the bread is baked is called an oven. Bread was baked in front of the fire standing against a support. It is called a bread iron. It is made out of iron. Griddle bread was made. Special kinds of bread were made on special occasions. - Collector
