In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free sourdough starter, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, psyllium husk powder, and xanthan gum.
In a separate container, mix the filtered water, honey, and olive oil until the honey is fully dissolved.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or a spatula until no dry flour remains and the mixture forms a thick but smooth dough.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest in a warm, draft-free area for 4-6 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This fermentation period is crucial for developing the sourdough flavor.
Once the dough has doubled, preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) with a Dutch oven inside to heat up.
Gently scrape the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Use wet hands to shape it into a round loaf, if necessary.
Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven, lift the dough using the parchment paper, and place it into the Dutch oven.
Cover with the lid and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the lid and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a tap on the bottom of the bread sounds hollow.
Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
