Corbould said it took around three months to get the bread just right – a long time for a prop that's on screen for just a few seconds.
"It started off with the mechanics of getting the bread to rise and the liquid to disappear, but then there was the ongoing problem of what color should the bread be? What consistency should it be?" Corbould asked. "Should it have cracks in it? Should it not have cracks in it?"
