Slashing - good results on chestnut bread

[Steven_Shoreditch]

Hi, just to say that I have achieved impressive visual results when slashing the tops of some sourdough chestnut bread I baked yesterday.

The dough was easier to handle than the ones I have done previously, the white loaves or even the rye sourdoughs, in terms of applying the lame.

I wish I could get the same effect on the whiter sourdoughs I do. Obviously it makes a big difference to the effect if using a darker flour.
