Heya fellow foodies! Today I present to you some sourdough Scoring from my bake off late last night.

As far as I know this one is unique to my small, in home bakery.

Next are large leaves, perfect for the Autumn season...

Sourdough scoring, like any art, takes a lot of practice and for me they always turn out different.

These ones aren't my best work as these were high hydration loaves. Score too deeply and the whole thing deflates!

I look forward to sharing more intricate designs with you in the future when I make low hydration bread.

Low hydration holds the design very well and you never have to worry about cutting too deep. You can also work on the art a lot longer as the low hydration won't "pop". It holds its form for a very long time no matter how much scoring is done to it.

Here is the whole batch...

What type of sourdough is your favorite? High or low hydration, wheat, white or other grains? Do you make art on your bread too? It would be cool if you shared a photo with me 😎💪

I am not accustomed to make or eat sourdough, but your bread looks delicious! 😋

Thank you 🙏 It is bread made with a living yeast. My yeast is 6 years old now 😀 You have to take care of it like a child hahaha a lot of work if you're not used to it. It's easy to kill it.

Hi @lynds, your prepared shapes really awesome. I love to your passion.

Aw thanks for the madushanka vote of approval ☺️💗

YAAAAAY!!

Every time I see a generous upvote from you, I check back to see if you have any new posts so I can dump my huge and overwhelming 100% upvote on! Every time I see my lupins, it reminds me of @Lynds

You know one of the greatest gifts? When one of your little ones gets a passion for sourdough and they magically appear in your kitchen to eat! She makes a killer focaccia bread too.

YAAAAAAY LINDS!

Heyyyy Zeke man! Love to hear your daughter is rocking the fermented breads Mmmmmm aromatherapy in house and deliciousness too 🤤. I couldn't live without it. You're gonna have to keep her lol

I always enjoy when you tag me in your gardening posts so I can keep touch with my lupins heh heh heh

Appreciate the votes from you too, I think yours is higher than mine though, look at you stacking that HP 😍 Good job!

My favorite sourdough is the cinnamon, I like cinnamon and since I tasted it. I love to eat it.

Ahhh nice, I've been wanting to try making cinnamon raisin, you have given me inspiration 🥰
