Ingredients

For the dough

  • 150 grams bubbly sourdough starter Make sure it is active and bubbly.
  • 700 grams filtered water
  • 25 grams honey
  • 100 grams brewed coffee Can be replaced with additional water or milk.
  • 925 grams all-purpose flour All-purpose flour works but may affect texture.
  • 75 grams unsweetened cocoa powder Optional: Add more for deeper chocolate flavor.
  • 18 grams salt

For the chocolate chips

  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips Use high-quality for best flavor.
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips Can be substituted with dark chocolate.

Method

Preparation

  • In the morning, feed your sourdough starter.
  • In the afternoon, when your starter is bubbly and has doubled in size, assemble your dough.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add your sourdough starter, honey, water, and brewed coffee. Mix until the starter has dissolved.
  • Add the flour, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix until a shaggy dough forms and everything is combined. Cover and let rest for 45 minutes.
  • After resting, fold in the chocolate chips by pulling one side of the dough up toward the middle, rotating the bowl each time until the dough becomes semi-smooth.
  • Cover and let rest for another 45 minutes.
  • Perform 2-4 more stretch and folds every 45 minutes to 1 hour apart.
  • After your last stretch and fold, cover the dough and let it rest overnight at room temperature.
  • The next morning, your dough should have doubled in size.
  • Gently turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, then divide it into 6 equal pieces (about 300 grams each).
  • Shape each piece into a round ball and place them seam-side up into your mini bannetons. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • After resting, stitch the dough towards the middle to create tension.

Baking

  • Place each mini banneton onto a baking sheet, cover with a tea towel, and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 3 days.
  • When ready to bake, turn each mini dough bowl onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and score the tops with a bread lame.
  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Put the bread on the top rack, pour boiling water into a shallow dish on the bottom rack, and close the door to trap the steam.
  • Bake for 18 minutes with steam. After 18 minutes, remove the steam and bake for another 18-20 minutes until the tops are crispy.
  • Let cool completely before slicing and serving!
