This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft bread with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, bread is one of the many food items that you can make. Bread will replenish your food meter when eaten.

Let’s explore how to make bread.

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make Bread

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make bread, place 3 wheat in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making bread, it is important that the wheat are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 3 wheat in the second row. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for bread.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the bread will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Bread to Inventory

Once you have crafted bread, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made bread in Minecraft!
