stonebaked
Cooked on rock
Stonebaked describes food, especially bread or pizza, baked directly on hot stone rather than in a metal pan.
The stone produces a crispy crust and even heat distribution: stonebaked flatbread, a stonebaked margherita pizza.
The term appears frequently in marketing to suggest artisanal quality.
