I've already explored the scoring/slashing techniques that can make your breads truly special. Another technique is "braiding", which I've discovered can be very beautiful and not that hard to do, especially with video tutorials on the internet.
I recently viewed this video tutorial on a Facebook group I am a member of. If you like bread baking, you have GOT to bookmark this!
Enjoy!
