Hi!! Long time lurker, first time sourdough baker and poster. I thought I could judge my own bake based on what I've learned from this sub, but I'd love a bit more specific feedback from experienced bakers! One thing I already realized is I burnt tf out of the bottom – I heard putting a cookie sheet on the rack below the DO may work. Any input on the crumb would be awesome!
I followed this recipe/technique: https://grantbakes.com/good-sourdough-bread/
In brief:
-100g starter
-450g bread flour
-300h water
-10g salt
Make dough, 3x stretch and folds every hour or so, bulk ferment ~5 hours, shape, store in fridge overnight. Baked in preheated Dutch oven at 450F for 20 minutes with lid and additional 15 without lid. Waited several hours to slice.
Thank you!!

It’s underproofed, that’s why you have tunneling. Other than that & what you’ve addressed, it’s good.
Congrats! Definitely underproofed from the big holes. I would recommend this chart by The Sourdough Journey, for determining when bulk fermentation is over.
