What a beautiful loaf!

Any particular technique you are doing for the scoring? I love the "zig-zag" effect.

It's just the simplest thing. Straight out of the fridge, while it's still cold and semi-firm, I hold the loaf in one hand, and lightly drag my bread knife over the top a dozen times overlapping in a zig zag way, then plop the loaf into the dutch oven.

A couple friends give me shit for manhandling the loaf that way, but it gets results.

Looks pretty! What is strong flour?

Just whatever bread flour is cheap at the store.
