A Lame (pronounced LAHM, meaning "blade" in French) is typically a long thin stick made to hold a metal razor. This is used to cut (or "score") bread dough to help control the expansion of the loaf as it bakes. This is an essential tool for any bread baker. The best time to score a loaf is after it has finished proofing and is ready to be put in the oven. Holding the lame firmly and slicing quickly into the loaf as needed allows for a controlled expansion of the dough as it rises and gives a professional look.
