I finally got the crumb and fluffiness I wanted after so many tries by adjusting the ferment time. I live in a really humid/warm area, so my bf time was only 6 hours. I was really about to give up because all my bread came out way too gummy and stiff. So I decided to cut the bf significantly… and it worked!
recipe:
4 cups bread flour (dont hate mee)
1 1/2 water
1/2 starter
1 tsp salt
started at 11:30am
mix all the ingredients
sf every 30 min 4x
let sit on the counter
shape and cf at 5:30pm
bake the next morning @450 w/ dutch oven lid on. bake for 10min @400 w/o lid

This looks so delicious! I’m just a week to starting my starter, and this picture is so inspiring.
Congratulations! That looks fantastic, I know it tasted as good as it looks!
Bread looks lovely! What’s your room temp? I am also from a warm climate and trying to find the sweet spot for BF times
