I am NOT an expert and I was sure someone else would answer you last time 
<other than not looking at it while you eat it <eyeroll> ;-).  Have you 
tried putting 2 or 3 slices across the top of the dough before 
baking?  This allows the expansion in the slits you provide, not where ever 
the bread decides to split.  You can use a sharp razor blade or a special 
tool called a "Lame".  Hope this helps.
