If you slice fresh bread (not Wonderbread) very thinly, it can be difficult to spread butter on it without tearing the bread. To avoid that problem, you can butter the end of the loaf before you slice off the bread.

If you slice fresh homemade or bakery bread (not Wonderbread) very thinly, it can be difficult to spread butter on the slices without tearing them. To avoid that, you can butter the end of the loaf, then cut off the slice, giving you a neat slice of buttered bread.

Why do you think people buttered each slice of bread before slicing it off the loaf in Jacky's childhood in Jacky Daydream by Jacqueline Wilson?

Buttering each slice of bread before slicing it off the loaf could have been a way for people to ensure that the bread remains fresh and moist by preventing it from drying out. Applying butter to the whole loaf may have been a practical solution to preserve the bread's quality, especially in households where bread was baked in large batches and needed to last longer.
