Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Double Chocolate Sourdough Bread
  1. Prepare your sourdough starter by ensuring it is active and bubbly, having doubled in size within 4-6 hours after feeding.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together.
  3. Add your sourdough starter and water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (3 to 4 hours).
  6. Once risen, punch down the dough gently, transfer it onto a floured surface, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan.
  7. Cover the loaf pan and let the dough rise until visibly puffed (30 to 45 minutes).
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the loaf for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden and sounds hollow.
  9. Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
