Kind of made me stop playing and I have yet to get back to it.
I loaded a slightly earlier save of my game and clicked to fill the que with bread and then people made it but with it just on auto no one ever made it. Annoying but I did manage to get through winter and not starve this time.
What is your overall workload in the task tab (hotkey 7)? If they are overworked, they don't have time to do everything they should, including making bread.
1. Changing bread limit to 150 (instead of unlimited).
2. Queuing manually bread at hearths.
3. Disabling automate bread making at hearths and then enabling it again.
I'm not sure which one worked, but after I tried that, the automate bread making resumed.
The problem didn't return since then.
Probably a bug, So untill they fix it you can try those workaround to get the bread making going again.
Bread takes a really long time to make at the hearth, and often gets consumed instantly when being made that way. You need a good 5-10 Ovens to support high pop. or at the very least 10+ hearths before 100 if you are heavy agriculture.
In this game, you should try to give your villagers as little to do instead of maximizing their workload as is necessary in other games.
From the in-game Help files on "Workload":
Check your Workload Chart (F5). If you don't see periodic dips down to about 60-80%, your people are probably overworked.
Check also your Activity Panel (6). If you don't periodically see adults being "unproductive", you're likely already in some stage of a death spiral.

That's a lot of ovens and hearths! I'm currently supporting a population of 141 with 3 Hearths and 5 Mortars. I also supplement with hunting, 105 animals, and gathering wild nuts & berries.
EDIT: My flour limit is 50%, and my Bread limit is 100%. My limits are always met no matter where I set them, though.
If you keep your workload low enough that a few "Unproductive" adults frequently exist, you guarantee that somebody will always be available to keep those stations going.
The main reason to farm grains right now is for the straw to feed animals during winter and have left over to construct buildings, not to make the entire village to feast on bread alone.
I don't think that's a very smart way of looking at things. Sure, it's takes a lot of steps, but you can produce a ton of grain and turn that into a ton of bread and unlike with all the other methods, all the steps take place inside your town or just outside of it where you have the fields set up. I find that the trick is to have your flour limit particularly low, as that keeps your grain supply high in case you need to feed your animals.
Not to mention that in the Iron Age you'll get much more efficient methods of both grinding flour and baking bread with the waterwheel and oven.
There's a reason human population boomed with the agricultural revolution, and why in this game it's damn near impossible to feed a large number of people with just fishing, hunting and gathering.
I look at the issue based on the the angle of game design. Currently the AI will always prioritize gathering items around the map over making things. Regardless how much grain surplus I have, the AI will sometime stuck in a loop trying to gather stuff lying around. Grinding flour and baking bread activities are not on that priority list and once the AI gets busy (a.k.a during harvesting grains) they will starve themselves regardless how much flour/grain surplus my village have.
Pulse farming/fruit farming/fishing food methods, on the other hands, are most efficient since they are just gather and ready to eat. AI always remember to gather them so no more buggy AI to deal with.
Animal harvest are somewhere between the two in terms of the efficiency, since killing/milking animal are not on the AI priority list. But since killing animal is only one step when compared with grind then bake, the AI less likely to bug out and starve itself.
Until the game give me the control to mark, let's say, 10 of my villagers as the bakers, farming grains for the sake of creating surplus bread is not gonna work.
