With whole wheat you could add some extra gluten to get a better rise
If you order from King Arthur regularly, it’s probably worth the $40 a year for free shipping on all orders of $20 or more.
80% hydration using 15% hard red flour from Grist & Toll and 85% regular AP flour. Overnight cold ferment. 475 degrees.
Very tasty bread. The Grist & Toll flour adds a nice earthiness. The crust ended up being very crunchy and thicker than usual. Not that this was a bad thing. Wondering if this was from the overnight cold rise.

Beautiful loaf! I can practically smell it.
The overnight rise does develop gluten so that might have been the cause of the crust’s extra dimension. Did you use a steam pan? That gives both oven spring and a good crust.
Dutch oven covered for 30 mins than uncovered for 20 mins. I think this is our new favorite but still experimenting.

The heat of the pot would also contribute to a thicker crust.
I have to say that looks so much better than the first one you posted. Great job!
