Scoring Sourdough

For fancy patterns on your sourdough you will need a lame (an exceptionally sharp knife), but for simpler designs you don't need to buy one.

A tip to make the scored pattern stand out is to dust the loaf with flour using a small sieve.

If in any case that you do make an intricate pattern with your sourdough, balance it our with a big score on the side of the dough.
