Using a stand mixer fitted with dough hook attachment, combine flour, sourdough starter, water, and salt on medium-low speed (or stirring by hand) until ball of doughforms that cleans sides of bowl, about 3 minutes.
Place dough into large, oiled mixing bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm spot in your kitchen until doubled in bulk, 8–12 hours.
Place a cast iron or enameled Dutch oven in oven, and heat to 450°.
Turn dough onto floured work surface and gently form into a boule. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
Uncover your dough and re-form it, if necessary. Place your dough into pre-heated Dutch oven and cover with lid. Bake for 30 minutes, remove lid and continue baking until bread is browned, about 15 minutes.
