Help
2 weeks ago I made my first sourdough loaf and it came up wonky. Today I baked two loaves same issue.
ive made many yeasted breads and never had an issue. Am I right in thinking this is seam placement and is this more critical with sourdough. Any help or thoughts welcome
thank you

This kind of phenomena occurred me also when I started baking with sourdough. A cross cut picture would be very helpful here and also a description of the procedure with timings.
Happy baking, Joze

other thing I always get is very large holes at the top of the loaf
