Baking is a method of preparing food that uses dry heat, normally in an oven
Baking is a method of preparing food that uses dry heat, normally in an oven, but can also be done in hot ashes, or on hot stones. The most common baked item is bread but many other types of foods are baked. Heat is gradually transferred "from the surface of cakes, cookies, and breads to their center. As heat travels through, it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods and more with a firm dry crust and a softer centre". The art of baking remains a fundamental skill and is important for nutrition, as baked goods, especially breads, are a common and important food, both from an economic and cultural point of view. A person who prepares baked goods as a profession is called a baker.

    Recipe Unstuffed Tahchin - Persian Baked Saffron Rice

    Ok, first up the name... from what I can tell, Tahdig is the Persian saffron baked rice without any extras including barberries and fillings.
