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...

This must be a non-American thing because outside of being raw dough or burnt, I’ve never once had to clarify how cooked I’d like my bread.

I've never heard bread referred to as "cooked" in my entire life. Baked, yes.

Op being French is the only kind of context that could make this post make sense.

Wut.

I'm super confused.

Is there a reason you're saying cooked rather than baked?

Even swapping cooked for baked I'm still confused.

I heard somewhere that one time there was an Asian lady that didn't know the word 'toast', so while at a restaurant part of her order was 'bread, medium rare' LOL!

Hey, lacking the right word, it does at least make sense when you think about it for a moment.

Overthinking.

Do not do it.
