Baked Pipira Pira

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Baked Pipira Pira is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Fermented Butter ×1 — which resolves to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 17 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 644 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 7 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Fire Shard, 5 Fire Crystal and 5 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 53 intermediate up to the Lv 58 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

3 of the 4 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Abalathian Rock Salt (10:00, 22:00) and Porcini (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 10 Eorzean hours, about 29 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Fermented Butter has the widest use: 32 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
