Scale
- 42 g sourdough starter
- 42 g water
- 42 g all-purpose flour
- 350 g water (divided)
- 10 g salt (2 tsp)
- 500 g bread flour (4 cups)
- 113 g unsalted butter (½ cup)
- 235 g chocolate chips (1½ cups)
Instructions
- Feed your sourdough starter by mixing it with 42g of water and 42g of all-purpose flour. Allow it to activate.
- In a bowl, combine the levain with 350g of water and salt. Gradually add in 500g of bread flour until you have a cohesive dough.
- Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth, then let it rest in an oiled bowl for an hour.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over two-thirds, and fold as directed to create layers. Repeat folding twice more.
- After the final roll, sprinkle chocolate chips evenly before rolling into a log shape and cutting into eight pieces.
- Place pieces in a greased loaf pan or on parchment paper and allow them to rise until puffy (about one hour).
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 40 minutes until golden brown.
