Description

A delightful blend of tangy sourdough and rich chocolate, perfect for any time of day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 40 grams cocoa powder
  • 500 grams white bread flour (or unbleached white flour)
  • 8 grams salt
  • 50 grams sourdough starter (fed and bubbly)
  • 375 grams water
  • 50 grams brown sugar
  • 120 grams chocolate chips (add more or less to taste)

Instructions

  1. Feed the sourdough starter 4-8 hours prior to making the recipe.
  2. Use a scale to weigh out the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. Whisk the flour, cocoa, and salt very well.
  4. Create a well in the flour-cocoa mixture, and weigh in the sourdough starter, water, and brown sugar.
  5. Mix the dough with a spatula, then shape it into a rough ball.
  6. Let the dough rest for one hour.
  7. Add in the chocolate chips, and perform three sets of stretch and folds on the dough, spaced thirty minutes apart.
  8. Cover the dough and allow it to ferment overnight until doubled in size.
  9. In the morning, perform one more set of stretching and folding, shaping it into a loaf.
  10. Place the dough in a banneton or floured bowl and set it in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
  11. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and bake for 45 minutes covered in a Dutch oven. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes as needed.
  12. Once done, cool the bread for 3 hours.

Notes

For best results, ensure your sourdough starter is active. Adjust the chocolate chips to your preference.
