Hmm, that's tricky! In general, a crust that separates from the rest of the loaf usually indicates that the dough has over-risen a bit. We've not had good luck with electric knives for bread in general, so you might have better luck with a well-sharpened serrated bread knife. If you'd like to dig deeper into what might be making your bread extra crumbly, we'd encourage you to get in touch with our Baker's Hotline so we can troubleshoot in a more specific way. Happy baking! Kat@KAF
