Bread is really bad for ducks

Bread is really bad for ducks

But pancakes are good! (Well, he has the fire pit handy, he may as well make use of it!)

That's not strictly true.
Bread offers little nutritional value to ducks but causes them no harm.
And they think its yummy and make cute quacking noises.
They are outside the van as I type this, quacking for more.

I agree that the bread itself isn't going to harm them.
The problem is, as you said it offers little nutritional value, makes them feel full (as it swells in their digestive system) so they eat little good nutritional food, which is bad for them.

Feed them whole grain….bit of roughage to flush them out and feel hungry sooner!

I gave them cheesy rolls so they got some carbs.
