Also is it reccomened to add bread to the compost heap, and what type
of matter will it break down into?

Bread doesn't have a lot of substance to it and doesn't add a lot to the
compost heap,

"and it may attract rats"

tats wot i was gonna say.

but wot do i know, being an absolute failure with compost heaps. i've had
one for ten years and it's never ever decomposed (but the woodlice and ants
luv it).

You're keeping it too dry. Try adding water to it. If you can get it
damp enough for earthworms, you should get good compost from it.
