my 6 essential steps for larger holes:

  1. use higher hydration. higher hydration will improve the extensibility of the dough to allow the gas pockets to grow larger. ...
  2. long, slow fermentation. ...
  3. use strong flour. ...
  4. don't knock the gas out. ...
  5. use stretch and fold instead of kneading.
