I think the ideal would involve one of the early printed cookbooks
(Markham's The English Hus-wife comes to mind) which speaks of the
order of different baked items, ranging from, say, various breads at
high heat, pies at lesser-medium heat, on through marchpanes and
various white biskets at very low heat, baked in order as the oven
cools.
