    That probably captures many such things but it’s not fool proof. I like to make bread with 2-4 different kinds of flour, 4-8 different kinds of seeds, a teaspoon or two of sugar to get the yeast going, sometimes milk or olive oil or another fat source. At it’s most complex it could get pretty close to 20 ingredients but I don’t feel that should be classified as ultra-processed. The kinds of ingredients used and the actual process also matters.

      Yeah, bread can get complicated depending on what you want to make. Excluding flour, I have in my pantry to make bread these:

      • espresso powder
      • cocoa powder (multiple varieties)
      • barley malt syrup
      • oats
      • variety of seeds (shitload of carroway mainly)
      • variety of spices
      • variety of nuts
      • variety of oils/fats (olive oil, peanut oil, ghee, sticks of butter, etc)
      • Baking powder
      • Baking soda
