Need advice on stencil....
I know lots of people here do amazing job adding design to breads, making a stencil and sprinkling flour on it.
I tried to do this for the first time, and well.... there is room for improvement
I post a photo here of my final product, and if anyone is interested, a full blog report can be found here

what have I done wrong? SHould I brush off the flour after baking? ALmost nothing stuck to the bread once I did that. Did I add too much flour? Too late in the baking? Wrong flour? (I added rice flour)
I realize my stencil was too big for the size of the bread, but even if I correct that, I think my technique might have problems too
