Nice ! Next loaf…take a sharp knife and make a slash at a 45 degree ,right down the center. That gives the loaf the expansion it needs.

You need 70% Hydration for your flour. .Example … you have 500 grams of flour..you need 350 grams of water. Slash Is like noted above…3/4 inch deep…don’t be scared to slice it good !
