Actually what we believe is that the bread becomes his flesh and the wine becomes his blood. It's because of the verse in the Bible where he offers bread and wine to his desciples and says "take this all of you and eat it....Do this in memory of me". It is symbolic of that event. We do not believe he comes back to life in the form of bread because we do not believe that he is dead in the first place, we just believe that the bread becomes symbolic of the body of Christ.
Tl;dr- that's not what we believe at all..
Hope this clears it up.

And all the forms of the Last Supper are beautiful allusions to Mosaic Law where if someone was too poor to sacrifice a sheep, the could sacrifice a bird; too poor for that, a fistful of flour.
Essentially, bread was an acceptable sacrifice for the poorest of the poor. Now we commemorate Christ as the Bread (literally or figuratively), showing that we recognize we are too poor without Him.
