As you can see, Spanish artisan bread comes in many shapes, sizes, and designs created from shaping of the loaf and finally the unique  scoring of the baker.  Scoring is an art form in itself...  Scoring is the way the baker signs the bread in a particular pattern to distinguish his work.  A baker's score is the equivalent to a painter signing a work of art.  As you can see above, I've scored my bread with four slashes on each side of my loaf to create an elegant presentation on the rustic hard crust of my Spanish artisan bread.  Europeans love artisan bread served with meats and cheeses.  As an homage to the parks and gardens that I visited during my time in Spain, France, and Italy, I made my table setting with miniature bronze statues to create an environment along with my cold cuts and coffee.
