I’m thinking to bake about 50 loaves of artisan bread (hard outer crust, dried fruit inside) to give away. Since the bread gets hard very quickly, I’d like to slice it up and include a memo saying that after a few days it will be delicious when toasted. Commercial electric slicers are very expensive and there are a few cheap plastic ones on the market but I’m not sure where to begin. Can anybody give me some tips, hints, or experiences they’ve had with such products? Thanks.

I wouldn’t slice it at all. Wrap the loaves whole and give them that way.
