I tried scoring but the bread was too gooey and I didn't want the dutch oven to cool too much. So this time it was seam side down. Didn't know you could just flip it for the same effect!
It makes it look really cool and rigid at the top but also will give it a more even shape. Here's my most photogenic loaf from a few months ago, you can see how it bulges along the seam lines.
