  • Please, please, someone tell me why you have to do this! I like the way the loaf looks when you DON'T do it. What happens if you DON'T do it? Please, someone tell me.

  • You don't have to do it, but it may blow out somewhere you don't expect it to. If you are happy with what you've got, don't worry about it.

  • hold it a bit sideways, diagonal, and do not be afraid to cut. a fast cut works best. i always do it with a potato-knife, let the knife do the cutting, just hold it loosely. that's all, by the time you're done reading this you should've been able to cut 20 loafs of bread.

  • I found found it to be very helpful. you did a great job. Thanks.

  • Can you please post the recipe or link to it? Thanks.

  • this video is very useful.

    thank you!

  • I use a large xacto blade, works great :)

  • why your bread is RED ??

  • :S :S Not good from france

  • stanley knife with a long blade works great too

  • @casagrandecats this is a form of controlled expansion...if you don't score it, it will look like a volcano with uneven cracks anywhere/everywhere.

  • One way to avoid your cuts being 'lopsided' is to imagine yourself scoring along the middle third of the top of the bread. Thanks for the vid!

  • As long as I've been making bread (always from cookbooks), I never knew that when you slit the bread, you do it at an angle! I can't wait to try it on the loaf I'm making for dinner tonight! Thanks!

  • Nice video, looks great. I will try to score soon.
