I love how you’re really good at scoring but really bad at setting the hot bread down

[stevenliss]

You included timestamps for the different cuts! You're an example to us all.

Back in the day, every family had their own way to score their bread. It was a simple way to be sure which bread belongs to whom after baking it at the village baking house, as several families would bake there at the same day, using the same oven. Families that had their own oven didn't (need to) score their bread before baking.

"when something doesn't turn out the way you want, it's not a failure, it's a learning experience" i felt that

Honestly, this is the best 19 minutes I've spent watching a video probably ever. Just made my first loaf of sourdough ever yesterday. Thanks.

Kudos at the amount of effort that you must have put into this video! That is a lot of breads & scores to get through, I learned some nice new ones thanks!

[BreeCrutch]

😂😂😂 Watching you, the bread, and the wire rack trying to come to a happy medium was hilarious 😂😂😂

Loved the tutorial!

Made my starter 4 days ago and have already fallen in love with my colony and named it The Yeasty Boys. Thank you for all the information and inspiration.

I like how in the intro he stands in front of all of his guitars. Rockstar energy

I’ve been making sourdough bread for 4 years now. You have definitely upped my game. Your contrast is so good. But, you make it look so easy! Thanks for a very informative video. You’re a great teacher.

Someone with a gretsch tremolo telecaster seems like the type of guy who would make a 20 minute mini documentary on scoring artisanal sourdough, great video.

[zacharysherry]

This is the greatest sourdough scoring video in the world (tribute).

[kimberlyv]

I love both the boule and the batard with the wheat stalks. Using the twine to make guide lines is genius! Thanks for the inspiration! :)

[rachelbeltran]

It's always so heartening to see someone so passionate about something, and then see them execute on a video so wonderfully. Thank you for the step by step, this was awesome :)

[oliviaebertz]

i usually use my fish spat to transfer my bread to the cooling rack... obviously i need to invest in some giant clunky oven mitts instead!

[chunkydude]

Love this, nice calm voice, chill music and great info, thanks.

[ctcollinthib]

The spring on these loaves is really something!

[nicoledavid]

DUDE! You’re officially the coolest bread scorer in the world!! Guitar background and Tenacious D 🤘

I've been baking sourdough professionally for over a decade. I don't use a lame. I found that there are inexpensive, serrated non-stick tomato knives that do the job better on tender, high-hydration doughs.
