Sourdough scoring is my new favorite art medium


Started a little over a month ago, scoring definitely is my favorite step

My favorite recipe: 325g water 10g salt 100g starter 475g flour – mix, wait 30 mins, 1 round of stretch and folds, wait 30 mins, 3 rounds of coil folds over the next 1.5hrs, bulk ferment (I have a warm kitchen so usually 4 hours), bench rest 20 mins, shape and into the rice flour dusted basket and into the fridge overnight (12-15hrs), 1hr preheat at 500 degrees, brush loaf, wet loaf, rice flour sprinkle, score, into the oven for 20mins, lid off temp down to 475 for 15-20mins

    Looks incredible!! What do you mean by “brush loaf” before you wet the loaf?

    I would love to see the “before” shots to see how the cuts look on the raw dough!

    i might have to try this. not to the extent you are doing, but ive always just preheated my pan, dumped it out of banneton and scored it on the hot pan so i guess im always in a giant hurry.

    I’ve found when I do additional scoring, my overall oven spring suffers slightly. Any tips or tricks to prevent that?

    It’s a shame to even have to cut these lol
