I bake all of our household bread which we hand slice & use mainly for breakfast toast, cheese &/or scrambled egg on toast & things like that.
It's great bread but because of it's open texture is difficult to slice thin even with the correct bread disc in an electric slicer & hence makes doorstop sandwiches.
This morning, much to the disgust of Mrs LAF, I bought a supermarket sliced & wrapped, factory made slightly squidgy pain complet & made myself a mayo, cheese & tomato sandwich for lunch.
Boy was it good

I found a few in the supermarkets that are not too bad (pricey though). I love to bake bread, but have gotten out of the habit as I've been without an oven for about 3 months - until about 2 weeks ago.

Like above I make our own breads, many years ago we bought a Bosch electric slicer, its serrated blade, with adjustable thickness, I only use it for bread and it will cut very thin slicers if you need to, or a thickness up to 2.5cm.

The problem I have with hand cut bread when sliced thin is that the butter rips the bread and ruins the slices. Hate that .......... I really do hate that!

6 months of the year we have to nuke the butter in the microwave to avoid ripping the bread. Just too cold up here in the frozen north.
Humanity landed on the moon over fifty years ago but it seems too much to ask for a reliable telephone/internet service in rural France.

It never do Madam, it most certainly never do. Cold kitchen in old house even in mid summer. It may get hot enough to make butter movable between Christmas Day and New Year when the Esse is on. Otherwise .............................. !

Happy to oblige Enr MAS4000W/11 FD 9603 Zn 705150
If you cannot find a Bosch then the Tristar EM-2098 is the same Amazon.fr 55€.

That looks really good - designed to cut thicker things like bread rather than just slicing meat.
