First time baking a sweet loaf!! This Black Forest & Whittakers Dark Chocolate Sourdough was so much fun to make, but honestly it smelt and looked better than it tasted (for me personally) 😂 my fiancé loves it! I don’t know why I expected it to taste sweeter and like cake, it does not 😅 it’s obviously sour and has a slight bitter chocolate taste from the cocoa. My fave bites were the ones with chocolate pieces so next time I would opt for only milk chocolate maybe and not dark?! 🥰 it’s such a nice soft/fluffy sourdough!
Recipe by @crustycravingsbyh on TikTok –
Bread Flour: 500g, Cocoa Powder: 50g, French Press Coffee: 100g, Water (warm): 350g, Active Starter: 100g, Brown Sugar: 30g, Salt: 10g, Vanilla Extract: 5g, Chocolate: 130g
(I used normal cocoa powder not Dutch and I didn’t have espresso so I used French press coffee).
Initial mix with everything, let it sit for 1hr and then take aliquot sample and do 4-5 stretch and folds 30mins apart. Once aliquot is done, pre shape the dough, bench rest 30min, shape and refrigerate overnight.
Bake at 230c lid on 40mins, 220c lid off on lower rack 10mins. 💖

GIRLLLL ur killing my sweet tooth over hereeee😍😍😍THIS LOOKS DIVINEEEE!!! Fantastic job👏
You’re in another level! 👏👏
I didn’t even know this was an option 😮
I have never heard of this before, but everything about just feels right. Not sure how to put, but I feel this should be a way more popular thing to bake.
This is freaking inspiring, very nice work!
You inspired me to try the aliquot method. Now I just ordered a tiny Dutch oven because I don’t have anything to cook my little loaf in.

That is one amazing video and delicious looking bread!
I wonder if this would be good with savoury food, the recipe is making me think of mole! ty for sharing
I still dream about the chocolate sourdough I bought in San Fran years ago and this just made my mouth water so bad!! Looks amazing.
Whittakers is not only the best chocolate of all time, it might just be the best food of all time. This bread looks fantastic. Technique and vision coming together. Bravo
