It's just the simplest thing. Straight out of the fridge, while it's still cold and semi-firm, I hold the loaf in one hand, and lightly drag my bread knife over the top a dozen times overlapping in a zig zag way, then plop the loaf into the dutch oven.
A couple friends give me shit for manhandling the loaf that way, but it gets results.
