and I'm using a 74% hydration recipe. Previous was 80% and just wasn't working.

Still a bit slack but I added 1/4t instant yeast AND 3t of VWG at the dough-making stage. Not taking any chances this time.

I think that my starter is just too young for the previous attempt that resulted in two pancakes.

It was difficult to add the slashes -- it pulled more than it cut but I still got a nice design on top.

Still cooling but the refrigerated sourdough had plenty of nice big air bubbles. Post an interior pic later.

Looks good
Did you proof it in a banneton? I found the banneton dries out the surface enough so the lahm makes a better score.
