Not sure why everyone raves about preheating the oven for an hour...

My aunt insisted I had to preheat my oven for at least 45 minutes for a perfect loaf of sourdough. Tried it once and the bottom came out burnt while the middle was still doughy after 40 minutes... has anyone else had better luck just sticking it in a cold oven?

Don't blame preheating, your oven probably runs hot so check it with a thermometer.

Same here! My oven burns everything on the bottom no matter how long I preheat it.
