Honey & Crumb on Instagram: "the angle, quantity, and pattern of your scores all play a huge role in how your loaf expands in the oven and how it looks at the end. if you skip the scoring, your loaf won’t reach its full potential and might even burst along the sides. as bakers get more experienced, scoring becomes a way to get the exact rise they want—and it can even turn into a signature style! it’s my favorite part of the process because it lets you get creative and make your loaf stand out. for a better rise and more defined ears, keep your cuts shallow and at a very low angle—think almost horizontal to the dough. also, don’t skip that overnight cold ferment! the extra time in the fridge firms up the dough, making it way easier to score. #sourdoughtips #sourdougheducation #microbaker
