Bread Baking Babes Score Bigly
They slash; they cut; they slit; they SCORE!
Elizabeth, of blog from OUR kitchen and the host kitchen for this month, decided to take the monthly baking challenge in a different direction.
It wasn’t a baking challenge.
It was a slashing challenge.
Everyone got to make their own recipe for the bread and then practice using a sharp instrument to make pretty patterns.
Some, like our host kitchen, even made their own sharp instruments.
Well, not the sharp part, but they did find a new use for popsicle sticks
I miss popsicles……
So – all the Babes got to make their own bread and then slash / cut it any way they liked using anything they liked.
Check them out – there are a lot of interesting stories this month. (Beet Bread?)
To get the instructions on slashing and the details on being a Bread Baking Buddy visit blog from OUR kitchen. You can also learn how to make sharp instruments….
And that’s it for the Babes in the August. Stay Safe & Healthy Everyone! And wear a mask!!!

Ha! I love the way you managed to deflect away from the fact that my slashing failed pretty much miserably! Even though we have a swell new popsicle stick blade holder!
This Bread Baking Babe bungled blading bigly. What a good thing it is that the others scored perfectly!
(Popsicles aren’t anything like they used to be. They’re taste-free. But they do have handy sticks….)
There was a song about popsicle sticks when I was a kid….. How sad that they’ve been watered down. I fondly remembering racing my bike through town, eating my popsicle.
Very fun challenge this month.
How brave of you to eat a popsicle and ride a bike at the same time!! Weren’t you worried about the stick suddenly getting caught in your throat if you hit a bump in the road?
It’s entirely possible that popsicles taste the same as they used to, and I have just become snobbish about them. But to me, they just taste icy and overly sweet. Additionally, the fake-fruit flavouring is overwhelmed by the lurid colour.
That’s true Elizabeth! (Being brave comment.) I rode my bicycle while holding an umbrella… long story short, the bicycle ended up riding me. Never made that mistake again.
I have often seriously considered the idea of riding a bicycle while holding an umbrella… I will learn from your experience, Kelly!
😂 We do know how to slash! and you know how to make us look good! 😷
It’s an interesting talent to cultivate….
Stunning loaves girls !!!
If it ever cools down enough here to turn the oven on I may try this.
Nice roundup! Love seeing all of the scored loaves together.
Such an interesting variety – as usual 😉
It’s a slasher fest! 😉 Loved seeing them all together.
Slasher Fest – I like that 😉
