Bread in Valheim: The Plains Loaf That Ranks Second for Stamina

 

    The wiki calls it plainly: "A tasty loaf of bread." Bread is a Plains-tier food in Valheim, and unlike most cooked dishes it is a two-step item — you first make Bread dough at a Food preparation table, then bake that dough into the finished loaf at a Stone oven. It is not the flashiest Plains food, but the source data puts a specific number on where it lands: 70 stamina, which the wiki states is "the second-highest stamina gain in the Plains… second to Blood pudding at 75." Here's what the source actually documents about its stats, its two-step recipe, and what it feeds into.

 

Bread's Stats: Weight, Stamina, and the Healing Tick

 

 

    The infobox lists Bread as Type: Food, sourced from the Stone oven, with a weight of 0.5 and a stack size of 20. Eating it grants 23 health and 70 stamina over a duration of 1500 seconds — that's 1500 ÷ 60 = 25 minutes of active buff, worked out from the raw seconds figure rather than eyeballed. The healing itself arrives at 2 hp per tick; the source doesn't state how long a "tick" actually is in seconds, so treat the tick length itself as undocumented even though the per-tick amount is confirmed. Like most Valheim consumables, it's also listed as teleportable, so a batch baked at a home base travels through a portal with you.

 

How to Bake It: Flour, Dough, and a 50-Second Window

 

 

    The recipe runs in two stations. First, at a Food preparation table, 10 Barley flour produces 2 Bread doughs in a single crafting action — worked out, that's 10 ÷ 2 = 5 Barley flour per dough. Second, that dough goes into a Stone oven, where the source states: "Bread is produced by baking Bread dough in a Stone oven for 50 seconds. If left in the oven for 100 seconds, it will burn and turn into Coal." That burn threshold is exactly double the bake time (50 × 2 = 100), which leaves a real margin for error but not an unlimited one — walk away too long and a fully finished batch converts to Coal instead of loaves.

 

Bread Dough vs Bread: Two Separate Items

 

 

    The wiki treats these as two distinct items, not one entry with a cooked/raw toggle. Bread dough is classed as a Material, described as "Ready for the oven," sourced from the Food preparation table, and — like the finished loaf — it carries a weight of 0.5 and a stack of 20, and is also teleportable. Bread, once baked, switches Type to Food, changes Source to the Stone oven, and only then carries the health/stamina/duration/healing stats above; the dough itself has none of those food stats listed, because it isn't edible in that state. The identical weight and stack size across both stages means baking a full batch doesn't change how much cargo space it takes up.

 

What Bread Feeds Into

 

    Both stages of Bread feed forward into other recipes. The source lists Bread dough as an ingredient in Uncooked fish n' bread — the wiki doesn't give further stats for that dish in this excerpt, so treat it as a confirmed input only, not a documented recipe in full. The finished Bread itself is listed as an ingredient in Plains pie picnic, again with no further breakdown of that dish's own numbers in the sourced text. What the source does spell out fully is Bread's standing among Plains foods: at 70 stamina, it sits just 5 points behind Blood pudding's 75 (75 − 70 = 5), making it the second-best stamina food the Plains tier documents, not the best.

 

Practical tips

• Bread dough needs 10 Barley flour per 2 doughs — that's 5 flour per dough, made at a Food preparation table.
• Bake dough for 50 seconds in a Stone oven. Leave it in for 100 seconds and it burns into Coal instead.
• 23 health, 70 stamina, 1500-second (25-minute) duration, 2 hp per tick — the tick's own length in seconds isn't documented.
• Bread and Bread dough both weigh 0.5 and stack to 20, and both are teleportable through portals.
• 70 stamina is second only to Blood pudding's 75 among Plains foods the source lists.
• Bread dough feeds Uncooked fish n' bread; Bread itself feeds Plains pie picnic — neither downstream dish's stats are detailed in the source.

 

Running your own Valheim server

 

    A Food preparation table and a Stone oven are base infrastructure, and a two-step recipe like this one is easiest to keep running when the base itself never goes offline mid-bake. A gamever Valheim server keeps your kitchen, your Barley stock, and your portal network live around the clock, with one-click backups before you risk burning a batch into Coal.

 

Conclusion

 

    Bread is a Plains-tier food built in two documented steps: 10 Barley flour makes 2 Bread doughs (5 flour each) at a Food preparation table, then baking a dough for 50 seconds in a Stone oven finishes it into Bread — leave it for 100 seconds, exactly double, and it burns into Coal instead. The finished loaf gives 23 health, 70 stamina, and a 25-minute (1500-second) duration at 2 hp per tick, weighs 0.5, stacks to 20, and teleports through portals — matching Bread dough's own weight and stack exactly. At 70 stamina, it's the source's documented second-best Plains stamina food, just 5 points behind Blood pudding's 75, and both stages feed forward into further dishes (Uncooked fish n' bread from the dough, Plains pie picnic from the loaf) that the source names but doesn't fully detail.
