Recipes can have other recipes listed as ingredients. This is often done when you have a base recipe that gets processed into different forms for different products, such as a basic bread dough that gets divided and then shaped/finished into different types of loaves and buns. Or, you may choose to do to break a very long or complicated production process into more manageable steps, such as having a bread starter that must be fed then fermented before use in the bread dough
