A building or room where bread and other baked goods are made, a bakery or commercial baking facility.
Compound of 'bake' and 'house,' literally a house for baking. Common term from medieval English for commercial bakeries in towns and villages.
In medieval towns, the bakehouse was often communal—families brought dough to professional bakers because having individual ovens was impractical, making the bakehouse a social hub.
