Yes, exactly, so in fact its even simpler than A): you never stockpile Bread, you stockpile wheat, so when it says "you only have X bread" it means that you in fact only have "Y wheat that could make X bread"

Mick:
It requires you to do math!  :P

Probably should be changed, but I kinda wish I lived in a world where requiring simple multiplication in your head wasn't considered a usability problem.

It does the math for you already.  On the tooltip where it shows what resources are needed.  7 Bread (10 avail.) 4 Bow (16 avail.), it even color coded it for you (green have enough, orangish red not enough).  The only thing that you need to know before is the resource chain for Bread.

@zharmad: Bottlenecks are going to happen at the raw resource level.  As long as you have enough of the raw resource, you will always be able to make what you need.  As soon as you don't have enough though... 
The easiest way I've found to watch for bottlenecks is to check supply levels at the TC before and after each turn is processed.  If your getting sharp declines or 0s in there, you probably need more of that resource.

PokerChen:
Damn, I always thought they have a separate stockpile. My logic has been that if it is converted instantly, then there is no. need. for. the. resource icon! :D

 I long for the day when people can see wheat and imagine bread, see clay and imagine pots,  without it being a usability problem. ;)
