Have just made first loaf in new breadmaker, looks great but it is very soft on top.How easy is it to cut these loaves?When I bought the machine I noticed they were displaying electric knives along side them.

We find using an electric knife is the best way to cut the loaves.

Just use a decent bread knife.We find a good one does the job very well and you don't need to pay out for an electric knife.

We have 3 really good bread knives but for preference I'm with dwyn5 re cutting really fresh bread from the breadmaker i.e. IMO the best option is to use an electric knife.:-))

It's easier to slice if it's cooled right down - 3 or 4 hours after taking it out of the breadmaker.

Did you take the loaf out as soon as it was cooked? if you don't they can sweat & this can cause softness.

Yes, take it out and put on a wire rack. With buns as well. If you want crunchy crust leave as is on rack... softer, put a tea towel over as they cool. mmmmm My breadmaker is loaded up and will hopefully have a nice loaf mid-morning. Unless of course we get another lightning storm. It might be a black lump and sparks coming out of the breadmaker! lol ;)

If you need to cut bread while it is still warm, you need to wipe the electric knife as I find it gathers bread on the side of the blade and catches and I manage to tear the bread.I find that cooled bread cuts better.
