I'm not sure that's a good idea, either.
We should define what bread is by how it is made, but we should not go so far as to give recipies.
Thus, "Bread usually includes a powdery substance of one sort or another, a smaller amount of insects, and either copper, lead, uranium, mercury, or nitric acid." (not realistic obviously). If the way it is cooked or the order you mix the ingredients make it different from another kind of food, then it should be included - "the powdery substance is put in first, if it is put in second it will instead be gread and if it is put in third it will be sread" or "it must be burnt, if it is baked it is yread, if it is fried it is mread, and if it is boiled in molten aluminium it is fread".
This is very easily done without giving a recipie, and already some articles on foods link to the Wikibooks recepie (or in some cases, multiple recipies) for that food for somebody who wants to make it.

I would like to make a proposal for Wikipedia:
- A dish's article can contain one recipe (the minimal requirements to
make a dish what is it)
- Each ingredient is express in range of proportion (to be
representative of variations)
- Non essential information (like flavors, decoration, etc.) is
explained into the article's text (this must be a representative variation, not a personal taste).
- Dish's recipe alone is a stub that must be enhanced.
- If it's obvious that there is no intention to improve the stub (recipe
alone), it can be proposed at VfD.
I like this. With the additional note that an article can contain multiple recipes as long as each one represents a 'major' variation; imagine a bread article with a single recipe for bread!
(for example Japanese Kuri are very far from Indian one).
Another good example.
