Slashing the loaf
I have been baking "artisan" breads on my gas grill for several years with great results, but I have trouble getting good slashes. I have tried a new single edge razor and a regular bread slasher that I got from KAF. Either blade sticks in the dough, making a messy cut. I've tried dusting the blade with flour and lubricating it with veg oil, but neither works. My sourdough bread dough is especially sticky, but it makes a tasty loaf. It matters not whether I use bread or all purpose flour.
THanks, Heidi
