Great bread. I suggest using a parchament paper 'sling' to hold the dough during the rise, and to make placement into, and out of the Dutch oven easier. Use a basket or bowl to keep shape during rise..
No cornstarch is needed doing it this way.

I just pulled my dutch-oven bread out after just 30 minutes of cooking - the 15 minutes uncovered would have burned it! It is VERY crispy (almost overdone, yet edible. Being at 6200', the next time I make this will be either 425? for 30 min. or 450? for 20 minutes.

This is very easy and has become a tradition in our efforts to cut down on cost and garbage (the wrapping on bread and other foods have always bothered me. It takes me now five minutes to prepare and I just leave it be for about 24 hours for my personal taste. Instead of buying expensive breads make your own! My dutch oven has had it's work cut out for it! (If you don't have a scale look up the conversions on the internet.

This recipe is worth getting a Dutch Oven and a Digital Scale (You can probably get both on Amazon for under fifty bucks, and boy is it great. I make this about once a week, and it's one of the simplest foods to make. The smell alone makes a house a home.
I've tried plenty of variations...oatmeal flour, whole wheat, rosemary, honey & cinnamon, all came out great. Crispy crust, moist, tender interior. Just be forewarned, relatives will demand that you make it every major holiday...

This bread is great, and so easy. If you don `t want to let it sit for 20 hours, let it sit overnight. It works fine. Thanks Alton for this recipe, you`re my favorite!

This bread is fantastic. It seems like a lot of work because you have to do it about 22 hours ahead of time, but really the amount of time u actually spend on it is nothing. Very forgiving, it might seem like u didn't do it as well as Alton but once u bake it in the dutch oven it comes out great. Very impressive to pull out on a camping trip.

Alton's Brown recipe for sourdough is simple and yields a very nice loaf with a nice texture and taste both inside and out. The crust has a nice crunch without being tough and the interior has a nice sourdough texture. The taste is by no means a San Francisco sourdough but still has very tasty. If you don't have a dutch oven you can use the cooking method for Alton Brown's Very Basic White Bread. Two Yum's up!

I ended up buying a dutch oven just for this recipe and I do not regret it! I now make this sourdough bread at least a couple times a week. Everyone loves it. I suggest buying a dutch oven since it is well worth it. I found one for only $15.
