Overview of Bread Dough

Bread dough is a fundamental cooking ingredient in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), primarily used to create loaves of bread. It is an essential item for players looking to boost their cooking level and create sustenance for themselves and others. The dough can be made using simple ingredients and is a staple in the culinary world of Gielinor.

How to Obtain Bread Dough

To create bread dough, players need two primary ingredients:

• Flour: Obtained by milling grain at a mill or purchasing from general stores.
• Water: Can be sourced from wells, buckets, or rivers.

To make bread dough, follow these steps:

1. Gather a bucket of water.
2. Obtain some flour.
3. Use the bucket of water on the flour to create the dough.

Players can also enhance their bread-making experience by using a pottery bowl instead of a bucket of water for a more immersive experience.

Cooking Bread from Bread Dough

Once players have their bread dough ready, they can proceed to bake it into bread. This can be done using any oven, such as:

• Housing ovens (if a player owns a player-owned house).
• Ovens found in various towns, like Varrock or Lumbridge.

To bake the dough, simply interact with the oven and select the bread dough from your inventory. Players will require level 1 Cooking to bake the bread, yielding:

• Bread: Restores 5 Hitpoints per loaf when consumed.

Experience Gains from Cooking Bread

Cooking bread from bread dough provides significant experience points (XP) for players:

• Players gain 40 Cooking experience for each loaf of bread they bake.
• This makes bread dough a popular choice for players looking to train their Cooking skill efficiently.

For reference, here’s a quick comparison of other cooking items in OSRS:

Food Item	Cooking Level Required	Experience Gained
Bread	1	40 XP
Cooked Shrimp	1	30 XP
Cooked Meat	1	30 XP

Using Bread in Quests and Activities

Bread serves various purposes in quests and daily activities throughout Gielinor. It can be used in:

• Quests: Certain quests, such as “Cook’s Assistant,” require players to bake bread.
• Food for Combat: While not the most healing food, bread can be a quick snack for low-level players.
• Player Trading: Players can trade bread with others for coins or other items.

Tips for Efficient Bread Dough Production

For players looking to maximize their bread-making efficiency, consider the following tips:

• Stockpile Ingredients: Keep a good supply of flour and buckets of water for continuous baking.
• Utilize Mills: Mills are often less crowded during off-peak hours, allowing for quicker flour production.
• Use Cooking Gauntlets: If you have completed the “Recipe for Disaster” quest, wearing cooking gauntlets will grant you a small bonus when cooking.

Benefits of Baking Bread

Baking bread has numerous benefits for players:

• Cost-Effective: Bread is a relatively inexpensive food source in the early game.
• Leveling Cooking: Bread dough is an excellent way to train Cooking from levels 1 to higher levels efficiently.
• Low Requirements: Requires minimal resources and skill levels to create.
