Bread Basket

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Bread Basket is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Gyr Abanian Flour ×5 and Beet Sugar ×2 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 19 units, plus 31 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,589 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 994 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 21 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Fire Shard, 5 Fire Crystal and 5 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 61 intermediate up to the Lv 69 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

All 4 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Ala Mhigan Salt Crystal (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Gyr Abanian Flour has the widest use: 18 recipes call for it, spanning two of the eight crafting classes.
