I'll be honest, I went into this one a little cocky--so cocky that I watched it at 2x speed just so I could quickly get to the part I already knew. Yeah, I know that you don't want to score straight up and down, but at a forty-five degree angle! What's the big deal?

I think if you have a wider loaf, you don't have to worry so much about the curve. That being said, it is still going to be there. I think next time I make a loaf of bread, I am going to try going in at a deeper angle, just to make sure that I am at a forty-five degree angle to the surface of the dough at the point of contact.
I'm not even really at the dough-slashing phase. Still in the kiddie pool with my no-knead dough.
ReplyDeleteYou'll get there soon enough. Just don't be afraid to test out the deeper waters.
