Interesting, do you have to stamp it at a certain point in the baking process? I'm guessing after it expands at a certain point

At certain religious events, even today, Orthodox Christians serve a handmade bread that has such a seal applied after it is shaped into a cross but before it rises and is baked in the oven. Once it rises, the mark expands but remains clearly visible after baking.
