Stippling the bread is referring to the diagonal slashes found on bagettes or occasionally the hash marks on round loafs. It allows the crust to curl back in spots, creating a nice visual and crunchy textured crust on top. It is accomplished by slicing the bread shallowly (I do around an 8th to 3/16th of an inch deep) with a very sharp knife. Do so in one clean quick motion. You may find this easiest to do with an extremely sharp blade dipped in water before each slice.
