Floral pattern -how to score bread like a pro-detailed bread scoring tutorial

This is another one of my favorite floral patterns because it makes the bread look almost like a crown. The depth and angle of the blade determines how much the pattern opens up, how defined are the lines and how much lift you get. I have scored different versions of this pattern – main difference being the number of petals in the initial center pattern – from 5 petals for star pattern, to 6 petals for snowflakes, to 8 or 12 for flower/dahlia/sunflower patterns. You can do 2 rings of petals or 4 – either closely nestled or widely apart. Matter of preference and skills. Method and recipe: This is a no autolyse bread, meaning I mixed water, flour and starter at once.
