Would this have been done using a pan with a reversed pattern or hand skills?

A pan, the dough would not hold such detail through baking if done by hand.

It would likely have been done using a mold similar to the ones in this article about Roman breadmaking in Pompeii. [0] This story did make it to HN a couple or three years ago, maybe longer, and has been updated since.

There's some bullshit about no part of the website being reproduced, etc at the bottom of the article but I ignored it since they posted it online where anyone can read it and they mentioned earlier traffic from HN so I'm sure they're totally okay with us abusing their materials, maybe as long as we all purchase something from their shops. /s

"NO PART OF THIS WEB SITE [...] MAY BE REPRODUCED, DISTRIBUTED, COPIED, PLAGIARISED, OR TRANSMITTED IN ANY FORM OR BY ANY MEANS, INCLUDING [...] VERBAL CONVEYANCE"

Imagine asking people not to talk about your work. Astonishing.

Does this apply to the URL?

Very true. I read all that and suddenly felt obligated to untell my wife about the site. Too bad I told her about it the first time it was mentioned here on HN so that ship already sailed. Best I can do is hope that she has forgotten.
