For the Bread - Soaked
Line a tray with cling film.
Lay the bread onto tray, ensuring each piece is not overlapping.
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring milk and Shape It Powder to the boil, stirring occasionally.
Use a fork to pierce holes into the bread to help milk solution soak evenly into the bread.

Turn bread over, and pour remaining ¼ cup of hot milk solution over and unsoaked parts. Allow to soak and refrigerate for 2 – 3 hours.
