I think Potjeh's explanation is fair enough. All the dough icons look pretty similar, so it might be just as confusing (if not moreso) if it used the dough icons instead of the product icons. However, I think it would simply help if it said "bread dough" instead of "bread". But you really have to get used to a lot of things in this game. You won't know exactly how to plant a tree or look for mines unless you ask, check the wiki, or spend a lot of time experimenting. In the end, it's you, the player, who has to accomodate.

That's also thrown me off a few times.
