Some Time Ago,

I realised that more and more people were baking their own bread,

 and today I came across the art of bread scoring,

 bakers use a small double-sided kitchen blade called a lame (pronounced lahm) to make precise, strategic cuts across the dough’s surface,

 these slashes allow moisture to escape and give the finished loaf that sought-after complex crust,

 bread scoring today is all about flair and skill—just take a look at the master works of Blondie + Rye,

 theses of course all have fillings,

and they look so nice,

it is making me hungry just looking at them!

 in fact some of them,

 almost look like works of art in their own right,

of course you may like your bread without all of the trimmings,

 so here are a few loves,

 that have just been cut, 

 and then baked,

 to make these loves,
