TvH-
I always bake in a large casserole dish. Preheat up to 250c for 40 mins with the dish in the oven then remove the dish and turn the loaf into it. Slash as required then lid on and back into the oven for 30 mins.
After that I remove the lid and see how it's doing - with this loaf I reduced the temp to about 210c for 18 mins.

Had a few months off baking sourdough, so I've spent the last week or so coaxing my starter back to life. So much harder in the colder months!
Anyway I'm very pleased with the first loaf back as I was concerned it wasn't going to rise too well.
