Bread baking vocabulary

Johnson's Dictionary has an interesting entry today.

KI’SSINGCRUST. n.s. [kissing and crust.] Crust formed where one loaf in the oven touches another.
These bak’d him kissingcrusts, and those brought him small beer. King’s Cookery.

No bread because I ran out of flour. I've started growing a sourdough starter; so far it smells funny but hasn't done much...
