<<The only problem is slicing the bread!  Don't tell me to wait until it cools
-- i'm doing that.  I bought one of those knives with the guide thingie on it,
but it's 
difficult to make it stay vertically straight.  
Has anyone else had trouble slicing their bread?  Any helpful suggestions.>>

Personally, I use my Rival fold-away slicer. I orginally bought it for slicing
meats
& cheese but it works great on bread as well. You can adjust it for the
thickness
desired. The slices are nice & even, which doesn't happen if I cut it by hand.
It works best if the bread has cooled but I have sliced it while it's still
warm. The bread is then a bit rugged looking <g> but my family doesn't care. 

This is a bit pricey to buy for just bread but if you have a slicer, I'd
suggest
giving it a try.   Lavon
