Using a serrated knife, cut a circle about 4 inches in diameter from the top of the sourdough boule and lift off the lid. Tear the interior bread into large chunks, leaving a 1-inch-thick wall and base. Brush the inside of the bowl and the cut side of the lid with the melted butter. Arrange the bread chunks and the lid on the prepared baking sheet around the bowl.
