Can someone tell me why my sourdough bursts open like this?
Hi there! I’m wondering why my sourdough tends to burst open at the top…. Is the scoring not deep enough, or is it rising too fast?! Thank you in advance!

I’d do a deeper score. We’ve started using scissors to get the cut….

Might need more steam.

Are you also scoring at the 7 min mark?

It may be under proofed after shaping. You don’t need to make a deep score if your dough is proofed correctly. If you make 2 loaves, let the second one get to where you think it is over proofed to see the difference.
