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.

As a non-American I have no idea what OP is talking about.

As a bread enjoyer, I'm intrigued. Would you like to elaborate a bit? All I can find is different types of bread (like different flour, shape etc.).
