It’s a little on the dark side for me but when you’re eating it, it is a pretty small percentage of the bread. The inside of OP’s bread looks lovely, but I might leave some crust, personally. Or dunk in soup and it would be excellent!

It’s virtually impossible to burn bread, as someone early in my bread baking wrote. It just turns out being darker and crustier; the inside cooks much more slowly.

I do find that in my oven and my taste, the 225°C or so that’s recommended is too hot and they come out being a little too crusty. So I preheat to 225 and drop to about 200.
