Sourdough Bread

Making sourdough loaves today so I can make myself bruschetta for dinner. I've been pretty hit and miss with my bread baking lately, but *fingers crossed* so far this loaf looks great.
My risen dough ball
I'm using the KAF Rustic Sourdough Bread recipe, and today for the first time, paid attention to how much water the dough needed instead of just pouring in the amount called for by the recipe. I needed a full 1/2 cup less because of the amount of moisture in the air. My new dough hook worked like a dream, and the bread is well on it's way to being part of a beautiful dinner. 
Here are my shaped loaves of sourdough bread. They'll rise for one more hour, then I'll slash and bake them.
The final product
