To make my bread I used Expandable Polystyrene. I cut it and carved it to an average oval shape adding 3 slits at the top to make it look like baked bread. I sand it down to soften surface then apply PVA with piece of Muslin. I leave to dry and paint over it. When dry I see that the muslin edges are still noticeable so I cover it with Idenden for a more even and harder looking finish then paint over it.

For my narrative I just want a small piece of bread that the farmer ripped off the loaf. To do this I carve a smaller piece of bread, cover it with muslin and PVA but to make the interior part of the bread look doughier I use an electric heater to reduce the foam.
