One of my favorite parts of baking bread is the scoring. It gives me a chance to get a bit creative and end up with a great-looking loaf. I am, however, no expert on scoring bread. It occurred to me that a good way to get some control over the way my slashes look would be to attempt some calligraphy. This worked nicely with a sourdough boule, made with a portion of whole wheat flour. I thought Hebrew would be the best language to attempt the slashes in, as the shapes of the letters remind me a lot of bread slashes. So here it is, along with a picture of the crumb.

calligraphy very interesting. Sadly, really explosive bloom, spring and gringe would sort of make the writing illegible, better to use this on an over- proofed loaf if you want to read it. The bread looks tasty enough! Very interesting, well done and
Happy baking
