Slicing bread
A great tip for making a large number of sandwiches efficiently is to do the following:
- Place a loaf of bread in the freezer for 10 minutes (this makes it easier to slice).
- Remove the crusts to leave a single, crustless loaf.
- Cut ½” slices lengthways (so you have huge rectangles).
- Butter each giant slice and put filling on one side.
- Make a sandwich and then slice into fingers.
Job done.
Note: it’s a good idea to use simple loaves (white, wholemeal, etc). Avoid textured loaves.
