I cut them in half first. :-)

I've been baking my own sourdough bread in a square loaf that's a little
too big to fit in the toaster. (so I cut them in half) I think I'm
going to try doing that just for the first 2 or 3 slices, until the
remainder is more "loaf" shaped, then turn it 90 degrees and slice it
the other direction.
