20 lessons across 4 chapters, taken in order:

Week 1 — Blade Foundations & First Cuts

Lame anatomy, your first single score, dough temperature windows, and a knowledge check.

Week 2 — Classic Scoring Patterns

Cross-hatch, wheat stalk, leaf vine, crescent & spiral — the patterns that turn heads.

Most sourdough bakers score their bread the same way every time — one straight line down the middle. It works. The bread opens. It's fine.

But "fine" is leaving artistry on the table.

The difference between a forgettable loaf and one that stops people mid-scroll isn't the flour, the starter, or even the hydration. It's the scoring.

Here's what separates the two:

The basics most people skip:

• Blade angle matters more than blade sharpness

• Dough temperature at the moment of scoring determines whether your cuts hold or blur

• Steam timing is the #1 factor in ear development — not scoring depth

The techniques that create show-stoppers:

• Multi-depth scoring (using 3 different cut depths in one design)

• Stencil + score combinations for professional contrast

• Cold-dough freehand composition

I teach all of this in the 30-Day Scoring Mastery Cohort — a structured, accountability-driven program where you go from first slash to portfolio-worthy artistry.
