A hand grips a serrated knife, applying a controlled sawing motion to cut through a rustic, crusty loaf resting on a round wooden cutting board; the first slice lies flat beside the loaf, revealing an airy crumb structure. The illustration emphasizes proper technique-keeping the knife angled slightly downward and using steady pressure-to avoid squashing delicate bread. Shadow lines and cross-hatching add texture and depth, highlighting the contrast between the crisp crust and soft interior.
