Fingers are the best tool for the job imo. Just follow the 2 Fat Ladies’ advice and make sure said fingers are scrupulously clean (and remove rings). I also like their idea of making a union jack with bacon strips in the pan, and then folding each strip over the loaf to keep it moist inside and crispy outside. No need to baste then, and this bacon wrapping is in your recipie too.

I was thinking doing bacon. Oh my the man would be so happy with that.
It works so well! Bit of a pain to carve in slices but so good.
