Abstract

See full text

A dual slice bread machine for cutting slits into loaves of bread perpendicular to a conventional bread slice. The present system has an actuating rack having a series of regularly spaced piercing knives mounted thereon. The actuating rack is configured to be raised and lowered automatically. In use, a loaf of bread is placed underneath the actuating rack. When the actuating rack is lowered, the knives puncture the loaf, creating a series of vertical slits along the length of the loaf. The loaf is then cut with a conventional bread slicing machine where the slices alternate between a slice that dissects a vertical slit and a cut that is positioned exactly in between two adjacent vertical slits. This creates a loaf with slices having a centered living hinge capable of being easily folded and separated into equal halves.
