Sourdough. Possibly my best crumb ever. (sh.itjust.works)

What is your baking process? I'm wondering if you need more moisture in the bake for a better rise.

edit: looks extremely delicious, not being critical, just thinking you can tweak a few things.

This was about a 40% moisture. I know I don't get the rise I would like, and so far I cannot figure it out. This was cold started in a cast iron Dutch oven and covered and baked at 450 for 40 minutes.

I get a better rise with mine covered in a Dutch oven at 500° for 25 minutes, then I do an additional 2-3 minutes uncovered to get a little darker crust.
