Making bread in Old School RuneScape might seem simple, but mastering it can boost your Cooking skill and provide a steady supply of food for your adventures. This guide will walk you through the entire process, from gathering the necessary ingredients to perfecting your bread-making technique. Let's get baking!
Gathering Your Ingredients: Flour and Water
Before you can even think about crafting delicious OSRS bread, you need the key ingredients: flour and water.
Obtaining Flour
Flour is obtained by milling wheat. You can purchase wheat from various shops across Gielinor, including the following locations:
- Farmers' Market: This is a great starting point, usually offering a decent supply.
- Shops in Lumbridge & Draynor Village: Check the general stores in these beginner-friendly areas.
- Other Farming Villages: Explore various farming villages for additional wheat sources.
Pro Tip: Buying wheat in bulk can save you time and money in the long run. Consider your budget and how much bread you plan to make.
Acquiring Water
Water is readily available throughout Gielinor. You don't need to actively search for it; simply use your water skin near any water source to fill it up. Most villages and towns have convenient water sources nearby.
The Baking Process: Step-by-Step Guide
Now that you've gathered your flour and water, it's time to bake!

Equip Your Cooking Pot: Ensure you have a cooking pot in your inventory. You can obtain one early on in the game.
