Milling and baking

[medains]

LIst of things that we should need for this:

 

Salt: common household item - should be in big packs that gradually run out

Yeast: uncommon - could be found in big packs or single-use sachets  not required for all bread - can make unleavened or sourdough without it.

Wheat: Grow your own - the product is also the seed, and is ultimately perishable

Some method of grinding wheat to flour - this will be a bit noisy.

Sunflower seeds: Grow for oil

Sunflower oil: extracted from seeds using a press - bottles of it would be fairly common though, and do not perish.

Oil press: rare item

Jar: for making a sourdough starter

 

Jar + Flour + Apple + Knife = Sourdough starter (should really leave it for a few days to develop yeast)

Bowl + Salt + Yeast + Flour + Water + Butter/Oil = Unproven dough

Bowl + Salt + Flour + Water = unleavened dough

Bowl + Salt + Sourdough starter(half) + Flour + Water + Butter/Oil = Unproven sourdough

Sourdough starter(half) + Flour = Sourdough starter

 

Unproven dough turns into risen dough someplace warm - not sure how to manage this.

Bake unleavened dough into flatbread

Bake risen dough into bread

I have some of this coming with my Spices mod, I'll do my best to make it more involved and use above.

The vanilla game should include some sort of basic baking recipe, IMO. Flour + Yeast + Water + Loaf Pan makes 'Homemade Bread', dangerous if eaten uncooked (bake in an oven to cook, as normal). Wheat should be a new crop that becomes (or can be crafted into) flour once harvested. Flour + Water + Frying Pan could make cookable flatbread/"bannock" for those times when you can't find yeast, and would cook faster too).

 

A more complicated baking system would make a great mod, though! Developing your own yeast, proving dough, threshing wheat, etc.
