I have a question - how do you score very large loaves of bread so that they end up with a more pleasing shape and appearance? Whenever I need to bake BIG loaves (pictured are 4lbs each, I'm taking them to an early Thanksgiving celebration dinner tonight) oven spring tends to turn the loaf into a blob/balloon shape. If you look at my picture you'll see that although the scoring did its job and allowed the loaves to expand evenly, they're not very appealing. What do I need to do better?

Your bread looks fine, don't be a testicle poacher.

Your bread looks really good OP, probably tastes great too. Screw appearances.

thanks for that, I spotted a scoring idea for boules that I haven't tried before
What are you scoring with?
