Ah that’s a pity, and tricky to clean up!

Whilst a Dutch oven helps with spring and crust, it’s not supposed to ‘contain’ the dough. Your dough strength and loaf shaping should do that.
I started off going straight for the high-hydration jugular and made a load of cow pats. Then I watched that Trevor Wilson video up-thread and tried his technique for a 65% hydration loaf. I haven’t baked anything else for a few weeks. I may try upping the hydration but tbh I find the crumb and texture of these amazing.
I’m using
100g levain @100% hydration
870g White flour (extra patents)
50g rye flour
580g water
20g salt
Pinch caraway seeds as we like ‘em

Might as well chuck it in the oven and see is not always a good plan, should have just cut my losses. Did Ken Forkish' Overnight Country Blonde but doubled the levain because I made too much and figured it couldn't do much harm. It was an overproofed unworkable mess, so I loaded it onto a peel and slid it into the oven. Might have turned out okay if I would have used a Dutch oven, really need to get one.
