About Bread
Bread is a basic food that restores a solid chunk of hunger. It stacks to 64, so you can carry a lot of it on long mining or building trips. Eating one loaf restores 5 hunger points, shown as two and a half drumsticks, and 6 saturation.
It is a little less efficient than cooked meat, but it is easy to make in large amounts once you have a wheat farm going. Villagers will also pick up bread to breed, which is handy when you are growing a village.
How to get Bread
You can craft bread by placing three wheat in a horizontal row in a crafting grid, which makes one loaf. No other ingredient is involved.
You can also find bread in some generated chests, including those in villages, dungeons, and mineshafts. If you are just starting out, a small wheat farm is usually the simplest way to keep a steady supply.
