We just secured a collaboration and partnership with Wire Monkey. I'm fired up about this one.
If you don't know Wire Monkey, let me introduce you.
They make the highest quality bread scoring lames in the world, and every model is designed specifically for the needs of artisan bread bakers. These aren't tools you find at a big box store. They're handcrafted from American Black Walnut, weighted and balanced for control, and built to last a lifetime.
They're what I use at the bench every time I score.
See those two loaves in the photos? That's what a sharp blade and the right technique does to bread before it goes in the oven. Those cuts aren't decoration. They're engineering.
That's what we're teaching in Week 2 of the Road to Sourdough series: Why We Score.
This weekend we're baking my Market White loaf together as an academy where a three-and-a-half-month-old group of 490 bakers bake together as a community, averaging 7,000 interactions every Saturday.
Come bake with us. Post your bake and you could WIN one of your very own!
