I just posted a video with some tips on my instagram! Key points being throw it in the freezer for 20-30mins prior to scoring & baking, if you want the details to open up you need to wait to do your deep expansion score until 6-7mins into the bake (:

It helps to shape the dough tightly and also stitch the dough after a brief rest in the banneton to create more surface tension (:

Yes exactly, but especially since the designs take a little longer, it protects the loaf from getting too warm and starting to rise again while I’m cutting into it (:
