How do you make it so ingredients make a recipe unlock?

So, I have a modded item crafted with several vanilla items, say an egg and a bucket makes egg bucket. When I acquire all the ingredients needed for the recipe, the recipe DOES NOT unlock. So, when I go to a crafting table with my egg and bucket, it doesn't show a recipe that can be crafted with it, even one thats marked as "cannot craft", it just doesn't show at all until I craft it once myself. How could I change this? Is there a way to do this without procedures? thank you!
