If you’re a sourdough enthusiast or just want to make your standard bread that little bit more special you’ll find a lame well worth the small investment!Ī bread lame is often just a handle that will accept a standard razor blade in it and sometimes you’ll get the blades. You could of course just use a standard razor blade but I would not recommend that – you’ll likely cut yourself! It’s so much easier with a special handle for the blade. Why? Sharpness for a start – my normal kitchen knives were never that great! They are also heavier and combined with the lack of sharpness it meant that it would drag on the dough.
I tried to recreate this with my standard kitchen knives with a little success – it worked fine but when I started using a tool specifically for the job I found it was much better. Lame means blade in french and is pronounced like lam. A bread lame is what you use to make those cuts and it controls the expansion in a way that you’re happy with. However what I had seen was beautiful loaves that had been scored or cut at the top which resulted in a lovely expanded bread loaf. Perhaps you’ve never heard of a bread lame before? I know I hadn’t when I first began my bread making journey. This article will be looking at the best bread lame and what they are even for – I hope you find it useful. They aren’t just for the professionals and I think they are a great addition to anyone’s bread making tool box.
If you’ve been wanting to up your bread making game this year then you’ve perhaps been looking to get a specialist tool called a bread lame or a grignette.
