In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free sourdough starter, gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, and psyllium husk powder. Stir until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry mixture, stirring well to form a dough. The dough should be sticky yet manageable.
Add the salt, sliced Kalamata olives, and olive oil into the dough. Mix thoroughly to ensure the olives are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest in a warm place for 4 to 6 hours, allowing it to rise until it has noticeably expanded.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F) and place a Dutch oven or a heavy, lidded pot inside to heat.
Once the dough has risen, gently shape it into a round loaf on a piece of parchment paper. Use the parchment to transfer the dough into the preheated Dutch oven.
Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife to allow for expansion during baking.
Place the lid on the Dutch oven and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the lid and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
