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.
