Baking of Bread

Α food that marks a rite of passage for a culture in your world

This ritual is observed by the Sundorwickian women who stay around the camps, take care of the children, cook, clean, and look after the soldiers who return from battle.
When a woman comes of age, she is tasked with baking bread the same as her mother, grandmother, or other elder in the camp. The elder decided upon is chosen based upon the familial status available. If the mother of the young woman is alive and available, capable of making the bread, she is chosen. As will the grandmother. If neither relative is present or able, an elder of the camp is chosen.
The woman is given a week to study the elder as they bake the bread. During this time, they learn tecniques in cooking, as well as life lessons, as the elder uses this opportunity to share many stories of her past and give advice to the young woman.
At last, when the day is come, the women of the village gather around a fire as the elder and young woman present their breads. The breads are not marked, so it is unclear who baked which, but as the plates are passed around, everyone present tastes both loaves. If they decide that the breads taste enough alike, the understudy is deemed an official Young Woman and can join the other women of the tribe in their duties to the tribes. She is no longer a child without responsibility.
This is not a competition for who bakes the best tasting loaf. This is simply a challenge to match recipes so exactly that the two breads are indiscernable from each other. If the young woman is able to match the elder woman's recipe to perfection, when the tribe tastes them both, they should not be able to tell the difference. This marks success.
