Slice Crusty Bread Without Making A Mess Using These Steps

By Devi Poojari

Let’s face it, good bread is always going to be better than anything that could even bother competing with it. But how do you slice a good loaf without smashing it or having it crumble all over the place? Read on.

FLIP LOAF UPSIDE-DOWN

Slicing through the tougher bottom of a loaf is easier since you pierce first, through the hard part.

TILT TO THE SIDE

When working with a crusty loaf like a baguette, tilting it sideways before cutting in, gives more control over the bread.

THE RIGHT KNIFE

Using a serrated-edged bread knife is important because you want to cut into a loaf gradually like cutting into a tree.

KNIFE'S ANGLE

Cutting your bread using a 45-degree angle using a knife is very important to avoid having the knife slide over your hand as you hold a loaf in place.
