Got a few minutes to watch Sourdough: 4 Scores & 4 Bakes in 4:56 minutes? Sometimes it’s nice to see some repetition. Sourdough reacts a little differently with each loaf. You’ll see that with the bakes, they’re also a little different, even though the recipe is the same and the oven temp is the same.
Happy Baking!
Each sourdough score and bake has its own personality.
Whether you slash or score – totally up to you. I do one or the other depending on my mood. If I do a slash, I usually don’t apply much rice flour and just leave the loaf a’la natural with a single slash. But, if I do a score pattern, I’ll use some white rice flour sprinkled on top to bring out that pattern of the score.

Did you know that I bake at ‘high altitude’? I really should say I bake at high elevation’ because after all, I’m not baking on an airplane. Haha. If you have questions about high elevation baking I would recommend you check out the link below.
