Product Info
Wooden Bread Lame – Sourdough Scoring Tool
Love those golden loaves with crisp, raised ridges and beautiful scoring? A bread lame is the essential tool for getting that classic artisan finish at home — helping your dough expand properly in the oven while adding a professional, bakery-quality look.
The word lame comes from the French for “blade” — and that’s exactly what it is: a simple scoring tool used to cut patterns into dough before baking. Those cuts open up in the oven, creating beautiful almond-shaped “ears” and crisp edges that improve both texture and oven spring.
Key Features
- Ergonomic wooden handle: Comfortable grip and better control while scoring.
- Includes 5 double-edged blades: Easy blade changes for consistently clean cuts.
- Protective cover included: Safer storage between bakes.
- Length: 19.5 cm
Scoring Tips
- Score cold dough for the cleanest lines (especially after a fridge proof).
- Use light, confident strokes — don’t press too deep.
- Swap to a fresh blade when cuts start to drag or tear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does scoring actually do?
Scoring controls where the loaf expands during baking. It helps improve oven spring, prevents random splitting, and creates that classic artisan look.
Do I need a lame, or can I use a knife?
You can use a very sharp knife, but a lame is much easier to control and gives cleaner cuts, especially on high-hydration dough.
How often should I change the blade?
Whenever scoring starts to drag or tear the dough. A sharp blade makes a big difference to clean patterns and crust quality.
Is it safe to store?
Yes — it includes a protective cover. Always keep blades out of reach of children and handle with care.

Let customers speak for us
Absolutely love my Large Kefirko Water Kefir Kit! The quality
Absolutely love my Large Kefirko Water Kefir Kit! The quality, design and ease of use are fantastic. It’s made getting into home fermentation so much easier, and the 1250ml size is perfect.
The kit feels well thought out, practical and built for regular use. It’s also great to see a small family business offering quality products and genuinely caring about its customers.
Very happy with my purchase and looking forward to plenty more batches of homemade water kefir. I’ll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend The Fermentation Station!

Great way of starting off on Kefir making
decided to get this to make it easy for my first attempt at Kefir making and it has been great, works well, easy to clean and see what the kefir is up to. Comes with everything you need to make Kefir, grains have grown and producing well, takes a little time and patience but worth it.

Ordered Milk Kefir Grains (300ml)
I ordered Milk Kefir Grains from The Fermentation Station because the other options for amazon I tried weren’t good enough, and I’m really happy with them. They arrived in good condition, and they’ve been growing well since I started fermenting. Thanks to The Fermentation Station for the support and the friendly help getting started!

First sourdough bread
Great starter (San Francisco), and the instructions were clear in the e-book. I’m about to bake my second sourdough bread, the first was a resounding success! Yet to try the French starter.

Great milk kefir grains - thank you!
My milk kefir grains arrived promptly. I started culturing them immediately. They have grown exponentially to the point where I put grains in my smoothies along with the kefir. The grains are very healthy and my gut is responding well to them!

300 ml milk Fermentation Station kit is a perfect choice for a single person
300 ml milk Fermentation Station kit is a perfect choice for a single person. I chose your company because of the Growth Premix to help boost the quality of the Kifer milk Grains.
The results speak for themselves, I’ve never had such a delicious creamy lightly tangy outcome before, I love the taste and consistency and can’t wait for each morning. I think the Growth Premix was the missing link from my previous attempts at home made milk Kifer.
Thank you
