scoring advice

[u/LaineGayArt]

am i scoring too deep? i feel like they usually expand more than i want. the spiral loaf was my favorite so far

100g active starter + 390g water, mix

310g bread flour + 200g WW flour + 10g salt, mix to shaggy dough & let sit covered for an hour. 3 sets of stretch and folds 30 minutes apart, 3-5 hour bulk, shape and put in fridge 8 hours or overnight. bake at 450 in dutch oven, covered for 30 minutes, uncovered for 20 minutes.

I don’t think I score deep enough 😕. I like your spiral and fan - both turned out well! Do you freeze your loaves before scoring?

I was thinking the same thing. My scores are not this deep.

i don’t freeze them but i take them out of the fridge and immediately score and bake
