Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your active sourdough starter, honey, and room temperature water. Stir until well blended.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Perform four rounds of stretch and folds every 30 minutes, keeping the dough warm.
  4. Let the dough bulk ferment in a warm spot for about 7 hours until it doubles in size and becomes bubbly.
  5. Gently turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a rough ball, resting for 20 minutes.
  6. Firmly shape the dough and place it seam-side up in a proofing basket coated with rolled oats.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for 8 to 72 hours to cold proof.
  8. Preheat your oven and Dutch oven to 450°F. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for additional 10-15 minutes at 425°F.
  9. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
