Honestly I didn't want the no-knead Artisan Boule stuff that NYT popularized (the 'lively crust' broke my mouthparts a few years back), I just wanted a solid sandwich loaf that didn't require a struggle. I started this year with the no-knead and twisted it left and right to improve it towards my goals.
I'm about a dozen iterations in, but currently my best version is:

I tried a lot of different recipes that called for way too much yeast or time or both. Protip: If it tastes too yeasty, cut down on the initial yeast, or cut down on the time spent rising. Yeast will double in maybe two hours; I ended up cutting it into tiny fractions of a teaspoon with some success (though 10 hours is a convenient rise time for me). When yeast runs out of easily available simple carbs (I think?), it will start to metabolize more complex carbs/proteins that cause interesting sour flavor compounds like alcohols to come out. Some people want more of these, some less; Sourdough has more than bland sandwich bread.
This loaf is fairly large & long, and gives a reasonable number of slices. I'm interested in trying out a wider/taller pan, but haven't decided on one yet. I cut it with this beautiful bastard: https://www.amazon.com/Tojiro-Almighty-Knife-345mm-FG-3000/dp/B001TPDYGM/ which works great. A monster of a knife; Blade length minus depth of loaf scales with slicing ease for a given knife sharpness/design.
