This is a hoax, or at least misrepresented by these images. The Maillard reaction, which gives bread crust the golden brown color shown, requires temperatures of at least 280° F. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2022/02/15/understanding-the-maillard-reaction-in-baking Even in extremely hot conditions with direct sun, bricks rarely exceed 160° F at the surface. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10211493/
