How to use this prompt
Scoring is about the cut, so the prompt names the tool precisely — "a bread lame, a curved razor on a handle" — because the word "lame" alone means nothing to the model and would render a generic knife. The "leaf-shaped slash" is described as a shape rather than a style label, which gives the model geometry to draw. The dough must be "pale dusted" so the slash reads as a contrast line; an undusted surface hides the cut. Keep the scene instructional and warm with soft natural light. A 4:5 frame suits the round loaf and a tall tutorial-style crop.
Variations to try
- Wheat pattern — a wheat-stalk score down the loaf's centre
- Baked result — the same loaf baked, the slash opened into an ear
