Sourdough..Just when you think you are good at it!

 

These two loaves were made from the same batch.  The boule did not rise as much and had a dense crumb.  The Batard had a fantastic rise, nice open (maybe too open) crumb.  The internal structure was very weak.  

King Arthur All Purpose Flour 73% Hydration

5.5 hours bulk fermentation time

Dough temp throughout 79 degrees

Shaping technique maybe a little too aggressive on the boule?

Any ideas, suggestions would be welcome.  :)
