What Bible verses deal with a man stealing bread and having to pay double?
score:7
It's Exodus 22. There's nothing specifically about bread, but it covers theft and double restoration.
Exodus 22:4 (KJV):
If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
Exodus 22:7 (KJV):
If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.

To my knowledge, there is no verse in the Bible that speaks specifically of a person who steals bread having to pay double.
However, it is good to keep in mind that the Hebrew word for "bread" (לֶחֶם) is commonly used to mean "food" in general. With that in mind, in addition to the verses from Exodus quoted in Rob K's answer, which deal with double restitution for theft, perhaps you are thinking of Proverbs 6:30-31 (NRSV):
Thieves are not despised who steal only
to satisfy their appetite when they are hungry.
Yet if they are caught, they will pay sevenfold;
they will forfeit all the goods of their house.
It's not in the first four books of the Bible, and it speaks of paying sevenfold rather than double, but it does deal with stealing to stave off hunger, and paying multiple restitution if caught. See also the various commentaries on Proverbs 6:31 here, which refer to double (and more) restitution for theft.
