After a strong start to my sourdough journey, I started having oven spring issues that I just could not resolve. This time, I tried a new recipe (Joshua Weissman’s no-knead sourdough) and let my BF go a little longer than normal. Watched ThePerfectLoaf’s slow-motion shaping video to make sure I got lots of tension in the dough, and this beauty was born.

Only problems I’m noticing are the ends puffing out a bit from shaping and air pockets on the outside of the loaf (see crumb photo). Does anyone have shaping tips to help tuck the ends in nicely and avoid large bubbles?
