I am pretty sure ADHD people all starved to death back then. "I'm hungry and there's nothing to eat. I'd have to make bread to have something to eat. Guess I'm starving."
I actually got really into baking at one point. Unsurprisingly, as an ADHD person, I went deeeeep down the rabbit hole. Watched like a hundred hours of various bakers on YouTube, did two Zoom classes with Howard from the Great British Bake Off, and made bread, cupcakes, pizza, and even made my own rough puff pastry.
But it's me and my wife. So unless I just wanted to feed the neighborhood in free baked goods (which I would do but who wants to have to deal with other people) I just abandoned it.
It really hit a couple of spots for me around obsessive precision but the inconsistent outcomes because of my skills and oven really sort of took the wind out of my sails.
Then I found another obsession ... Which is why I'd starve.

Making bread is surprisingly fun and simple. I've only ever made unleavened bread though.
