An overcooked bread isn't well cooked. So a well cooked bread is necessarily not too cooked. And yet, asking for "well cooked" or "not too cooked" bread in a bakery have well distinct meanings... (sh.itjust.works)

As a bread enjoyer, I'm intrigued. Would you like to elaborate a bit? All I can find is different types of bread (like different flour, shape etc.).

So is cooked a translation thing?

North America doesn't have a bread culture like much of Europe does, and it's sad.

Just what I was thinking. I don’t think I even have a proper bread making bakery in my town. I wish I could be in the culture that this comment is from.
