This is my first attempt at homemade sandwich bread and the hardest part is getting even slices hahaha anyone got any tips or tool recommendations??

I would use a bread knife to lightly score the loaf at the halfway point, then score the halfway point of each of those sections, and repeat until you have the thickness of slices you want. Then you have all the slices marked and you can either slice the whole loaf or slice as needed.

electric (carving) knife with slicing guide – I don‘t have one myself but I saw someone on YT being very happy with theirs for sandwich bread slicing 🙂 or, what I personally use, an electric bread slicer (like a deli slicer, but for bread 🙂 I don‘t know if that‘s a specifically German thing, but many households here have one

Buy a bread slicer on amazon, preferably one with an adjustable size.
If you’re feeling really daring, get an electric german one, they are basically deli slicer. Also get cut gloves. Also, only slice it as you use it.

My wife got me a deli slicer for Christmas because I like to make lunch meat and fancy cheeses. I bought a serrated cutting wheel for it and use it to slice my bread after it’s cooled. Works like a charm!

I set my bread on a cooling rack and the dimples from the cooling rack create evenly spaced slices
