Ingredients
Scale
- 500g bread flour
- 100g cocoa powder
- 100g sourdough starter
- 350ml warm water
- 10g salt
- 150g dark chocolate, chopped
- 30g sugar
Instructions
- Combine the bread flour, cocoa powder, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the active sourdough starter and warm water, mixing until a shaggy mass forms.
- Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Incorporate the salt, kneading until well mixed—about 5 more minutes.
- Fold in the chopped dark chocolate, distributing it evenly.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled—about 4 to 6 hours.
- Shape the dough into a round and place it in a floured proofing basket, seam side up.
- Let it rise again for 1 to 2 hours until noticeably puffed.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C), placing the Dutch oven inside.
- Flip the dough onto a parchment paper square and transfer it into the heated Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the crust is darkened.
- Cool the bread on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
For a richer flavor, allow the dough to ferment overnight in the fridge after its first rise.
