It looks amazing!
I do a tad more salt (15g) and a tad more hydration. (72-73%). Anything higher and my rise starts to fail due to gravity collapse. The difference between 70 and 72 is pretty big.
Bloody hell, how many are you baking for?
As many as I want, regularly. Burn through about 6 loaves a week between me and my housemates.
