How do I do this every time?

I’m going to be completely honest, this one should’ve been a major fail

I only did one stretch and fold because I fell asleep

Fermented for like 8 hours

Cold proofed for like 3 hours this morning

Baked for 25 mins at 450 degrees in the Dutch oven with the lid on and another 25 with the lid off

I have no idea what I’m doing but every time it just seems to work out. This is definitely not the best crumb.

Kind of gaslighting myself because the last few I’ve had have looked really good but I never do the same thing twice, I guess it’s working for me but if anyone has their fool-proof method please share (like I’m 5 pls)! Also open to any suggestions!

The inclusions are mozzarella and pesto

Here’s the recipe for the dough:
