パン買うの？/パン買わないと。
Read as ”Pan Kau no?"/"Pan Kawanaito"
The nuance of the first one is "I have to buy bread?" and the second one is"I have to buy bread". I think the first one would be the shortest and the easiest for your purposes.

パンを買えばいいですか？ パンを買いましょうか
パンを買えばいいですか？
Pan wo kaeba ii desu ka?
Means "Should I buy bread", or literally would it be good to buy bread, with the emphasis on whether it would be a good idea to buy the bread (rather than make it, perhaps).
パンを買いましょうか
Pan wo kaimashou ka?
Means "Shall I go and buy bread?" as an offer to go and buy the bread.
I am not sure why you would ask this in the context of a recipe.
Perhaps the final "?" is a garbled character, and what you really mean is "I will buy bread" in which case you want -
1) Informally and certain
Pan wo kau.
パンを買う。
2) Formally and certain and usually spoken, such as an undertaking.
Pan wo kaimasu.
パンを買います。

1) would be formal enough if written in a recipe.
