Was Paul referring to bread as a substance, or as an accident of substance? Bread is formed from baking dough; bread isn’t bread if it isn’t baked. Hence, I would propose that what we mean by bread refers to an accident.

It is the same "bread" that is referred to as "bread" or "loaves" of bread throughout the entire NT. It had the substance and accidents of "bread" and nothing but "bread" before and after consecration.

So when Jesus held up the bread - which still looked like bread - and said, “This is my body” - what does that mean to you?

Naw, now you’re making stuff up. There’s no mention of substance or accidents; and there are plenty of references to the bread being other than mere grain. (”I am the bread of life...”, “This is my body...”, “Is not the bread we eat...”, etc.)
