The biggest problem I had was when shaping it for the oven and letting it prove for a bit too long before baking. It resembled a large sourdough cookie after 20 mins in the oven. Think I've cracked it now* but rely more on the feel of the dough rather than timings for the pre-bake prove.
Once you start with your sourdough, it becomes an ongoing thing as you simply replace what you use from the dough with dry flour and keep it in the fridge. I've had my base mix for about a year now and still going strong.
*I reckon I get about 80% really good but it's all edible.
