First ever sourdough boule

Awhile back I was given some starter and made, among other things, a couple pan loaves. They were fine. Yippee posted a link to Susan's easy sourdough loaf recipes here, (recipe here), and I thought I'd try the 63% hydration. First attempt turned out pretty well. I didn't have a razor blade and couldn't drag a knife across the dough because it was inside a bowl, so the slashes aren't deep enough. The dough came out quite wet for 63%. It was dry after mixing, but steadily got stickier. The meat slicer made some unpleasant noises while cutting through the bottom crust. But, all's well that ends well and it tasted delicious.
