Fresh(-)baked is used and accepted by many today. It's interesting to she how fresh(ly)(-)baked bread suddenly started to become more frequently used in about 1970 -

freshly baked cookies (no hyphen)
freshly squeezed juices (no hyphen)

The hyphen would be necessary in "fresh-baked cookies," unless perhaps "fresh" modified "baked cookies."

Thanks. So does the brackets mean that all combinations are possible, such as:

Have you read my previous post, Anon? You don't need a hyphen in "freshly baked," no matter where it appears in a sentence. Broadly speaking, the hyphen should be included only when it disambiguates the meaning or at least improves readability, and it is generally unnecessary after adverbs that end in -ly.
