What is a dough scoring lame used for?

A dough scoring lame is used to slash the surface of bread dough before baking. This controls how the loaf expands and adds decorative patterns.

Why is scoring bread important?

Scoring allows gases to escape and guides the dough’s rise in the oven. Without scoring, bread can burst unpredictably and lose its shape.

Is a lame better than using a knife for bread scoring?

Yes, the slim, sharp blade of a lame cuts more cleanly and precisely than most kitchen knives, giving better results and more control over the design.
