Writing on Food52, she said: "I believe that turning a loaf of bread on its side is, in many instances, the easiest way to get thin, even slices without squashing the pieces, struggling against an impenetrable crust, or tiring out your wrist if you're cutting for a party spread."
The food writer, Sarah Jampel, explains: "Yes, it takes a bit more coordination and care: Rather than resting the flat, stable side against the cutting board, you'll have to hold the bread in place with the hand that isn't knife-wielding.
"But it's not as scary as it looks, and I've seen the technique at bakeries."
We absolutely hate when our bread falls to pieces so we might just try this the next time we buy a big, beautiful loaf!
