To bake breads with tender interiors and crisp, beautifully detailed crusts, use our French-style lame to score the surface of the proofed dough just before you place it into the oven. The method preferred by professional bakers, slashing (or docking) the dough with a sharp blade allows moisture and gases to release so the loaf can expand without cracking – and lets you create a signature design in the crust. Expertly handcrafted from solid walnut, the lame comes with a box of razor blades to attach using the brass shield and screws.
