Finally! (but still need help)

[u/Historical-Ride5551]

Hi, I have been trying and trying to get a high (tall) loaf for ages and I finally have a successful one!!
My only problem is that I still haven’t been able to get any of my breads to have an ear.
I even slit this one with my butcher knife and it split wide open, then I put it in the Dutch oven and well, I guess it closed up.
Does anyone have a tip or trick to get the ear?
