looks yummy, i have often toyed with the idea of getting a bread maker, nothing like freshly baked bread, however our local baker called bakers delight makes the most fresh delicious bread with no preservatives etc, at a cost i can afford ,so i have given up on the idea, but it does look very inviting.

I think you can buy a plastic slicer type thing, which you can put your bread on and slice it to the thickness you want.

I have a feeling if i baked my bread , a loaf would not even last a day .
