I think I know what you mean. The shape of the loaf is messing up your thinking. There isn't a bread machine that I am aware of that is gonna give you slices that resemble store bought bread. So, you have to think out side that mold. My bread machines make the tall, rectangular loaves. The first cut I make is from top to bottom, leaving me with 2 smaller rectangular parts. Then I lay one of those on it's cut side and start making slices perpendicular to the original cut. Man, this is hard to explain with out photos. If you don't get what I mean, just say so and I'll have one of my Pirates take some photos next time I slice up a loaf. Thanks for reading and REALLY thanks for commenting! Mother Hen Hi Kristen,

I have the best success slicing homemade bread, baked either in the oven or in the machine, with my electric knife. I also use a regular, manual bread knife, but the bread needs to be cool no matter what knife you use. OR you could just make the challah bread and tear it apart, no slicing required.

You are amazing!! Deodorant, bread, ketchup and ranch I am inspired. And these arae the only posts I have read so far. I am afraid to read more my to do list will be a mile long. I make my own peanut butter because of the "secret natural contaminants" (I have a blog post about it) found in there and I occasionally make my own bread. I have issues with the slicing of the bread, do you have any suggestions? <abbr><em>Kristen’s last blog post..<a href="http://kristen-mommydays.blogspot.com/2009/03/funny-girl.html" rel="nofollow">Funny Girl</a></abbr></em> So very impressed with your blog.

I was hoping you could fit a few posts in now and then.! I love the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes recipe. I make it almost every day. But my family has put the bread machine Challah recipe I snagged off of your site as their favorite. Guess what... I'm off to bake bread! Oh... and I started to "tweet"! Oh yea!

I even would check while you were gone to see if by any chance you were back and then you were! Yeah! The bread looks so good. I love homemade bread. I have a bread machine but haven't used it in a while. But it makes rather small loafs in comparision to store bought. I just don't know if I could make enough bread to keep up with all the bread eating in this family. LOL I am sooooo glad you are back. I really really missed you.
