Bakeries Of Norway
A bakery is an establishment that produces and sells flour-based food baked in an oven such as bread, cookies, cakes, donuts, pastries, and pies. Some retail bakeries are also categorized as cafés, serving coffee and tea to customers who wish to consume the baked goods on the premises.

Bakers began to prepare bread at home in an oven, using mills to grind grain into flour for their breads.
