Going to Extreme Measures

I tried my hand at baking sourdough bread for the first time yesterday. It came out yummy, but the crust is a bit harder than I wanted. It's so hard that a sharp bread knife has trouble getting through it without a lot of sawing. Hmm...sawing? We have the technology. I'm pleased to introduce the Shop Fox W1706 Bread Slicer:



Add a bit of butter and cinnamon sugar, then a few minutes under the broiler, and voila!

with a 4 tpi blade, cuts up a chicken pretty good too....

You know, I appreciate the overkill approach, but they do have serrated knives meant just for that sort of situation, lol.

Being of Canadian extraction, I'm afraid I'd have to advocate using an axe instead...

Heh, I have the Forschner version of that knife. It took one look at the bread and said "nope!" It will actually cut the bread, but the bandsaw was much less effort, even factoring in the time it took to blow the sawdust off the rollers first, lol.

Time to hollow that loaf out and fill it out crab dip.

why did you do that everyone could use a little fiber in their diet...
