Combining scissors and the Sonic Lame [sourdough bread scoring pattern]

The little squares pop out more when you cut them with scissors than with a lame. Then you can use a lame to finish the pattern with some straight or curvy lines. I'm using a Sonic Lame as I find it easiest to score clean cuts.
For more scoring inspiration, hop on over to my Instagram account.
For info on how to make your own DIY version of a Sonic Lame, send me a message!

Take care and happy baking!

As a retired Engineer that’s been making bread at home for over a year and regards the traditional Lame as his nemesis, this is solid gold! I’ll be making my own version soon…..

[@proofperfected]

I love that! Do let me know if you need any help, though I'm sure with your expertise, you'll do fine! :)

Hi Nicola! Your bread is beautiful! I’d love to know how to make a sonic lame! Whats the best way to message you?

[@sailorgirl2017]

This is beautiful. I have bookmarked it so that I may use it as a reference! Can't wait to try it!

[@proofperfected]

That's great! There's so much variation you can achieve by combining scissors and blades to score your bread. Let me know how yours turns out!

Every time I do my cuts (the 2 long ones) it starts to expand. What do you do to keep your dough in shape whilst cutting?

[@phanithearn8657]

Wow such a beautiful & precise cut/scoring! Where did u buy that sonic lame?

[@proofperfected]

Thank you so much, Phanit! I make that lame myself :) There's more info on how sonic scoring works here, which should help you figure out if it's the right fit for you: www.proofperfected.com/sonicscoring/ And you can order it here: www.proofperfected.com/shop/ Any questions, send me a message! :)

[@Lagolop]

Now I've seen it all, a bloody sonic lame!?!?! I use the cheapest craft razor blade I can get. Work like a charm!

[@proofperfected]

That's great that you found something that works for you! :)

[@gidget5416]

How do you keep it fresh after you put it in a plastic bag? Mine was soft this morning?😊

[@proofperfected]

Happy to help! Can you clarify which step you're talking about, please? Do you mean when you put the dough in the fridge over night?

[@gidget5416]

[@proofperfected]

@@gidget5416 once baked, I usually let the bread cool first, then wrap it in a dry and clean kitchen towel, and put that in some kind of container (a bread box, a Dutch oven, whatever you have handy). It keeps well for two days minimum this way :) Hope that helps!

[@gidget5416]

@@proofperfected thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I greatly appreciate it.

[@seamus6994]

Made it, not as pretty as yours, but I'm happy and it tastes great. Liked and Subbed!

[@proofperfected]

Yay, happy to hear that!

[@VanityDivined]

Should really cover that noise. Nice designs

[@proofperfected]

Thank you!

[@judymurray191]

At first I wanted one of those electric lames but by the end of video I changed my mind. It was too annoying.

[@croissant_3094]

is that a electronic toothbrush instead of toothbrush??

[@proofperfected]

That's a blade holder on top of a sonic toothbrush to work as a lame, yes! :) My husband invented it and it works like a treat. You can read more here: www.proofperfected.com/sonicscoring/

[@cinziapiccolo5282]

Una informazione: ho notato che i tuoi impasti sono ben fermi infatti fai i tagli e non si rovinano,come fai?gorse usi poca idratazione?

[@proofperfected]

This is firm rye dough. This pattern works with firm white doughs, too, but wouldn't work with a softer one. Hope that helps!

Sure did :) Sonic toothbrush, to be precise. Works exceptionally well!
