Ingredients
Scale
1 cup sourdough starter, active and bubbly
1 1/2 cups warm water
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the sourdough starter and warm water until combined.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt to the mixture and stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
Incorporate the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) into the dough.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
Let the dough rise for another 1-2 hours.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool before slicing.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
Ensure your sourdough starter is active for the best rise.
This bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
