Prepare the bread by making deep slices across its width, about 1 inch apart, without cutting all the way through the bottom crust. Then, make similar deep slices lengthwise, also without cutting through the bottom, to create a crosshatch or grid pattern. This will allow the bread to be easily pulled apart.
