How it works

This bakery name generator joins two baking words into a name for a bakery in a story, a game or a town map, then adds a real kind of bakery. It cannot tell whether a name is already in use.

Read the full guide

Every word comes off the bench

The first word is something a baker makes or uses: a dough word, a grain, something sweet or a shape of loaf. The second is a room, a tool or a container. Press New bakery, tap a part to lock it, and press again.

The meanings are under the tool

Each word has its meaning in the lists, checked against a dictionary entry. A poolish is a mixture of flour and water with a little yeast. A peel is the pole with a flat disc that takes loaves out of the oven.

Tips

Match the name to the kind: a grain word for a bake shop, a sweet word for a patisserie.
