Mix bread with Tacky Glue
Mix the bread with Tacky Glue (generally, use 1 Tablespoon of glue for each slice of bread). For a nice smooth dough, be sure to scrape all the glue out of the spoon before refilling. For larger amounts of dough, we recommend 1/4 cup to 4 slices of bread. Knead until smooth.
If after 10 minutes the mixture is still too sticky, add more small pieces of bread. If it is too dry or stiff, add a few more drops of glue.
