Orange Chocolate Sourdoug

Orange Chocolate Sourdough
I’ve added in fresh orange zest, because that brings the best flavour, but also some fresh orange juice for sweetness and it gives the baked dough an ever so subtle yellow hue. Then, coupled with rich dark chocolate pieces, it’s the perfect combo.

Sourdough starter

You’ll need an active sourdough starter for this recipe. This is a portion of starter that’s fed and then used entirely in the dough. Just use an active and not too acidic starter for best results.

Baker’s Schedule

The timing can be tweaked to suit your schedule, but here is a guide of the timeline I currently use when it’s spring. Cover and proof.

After the dough has had a cold proof, it’s ready to bake. Stretch it into a rectangle and spread on half the chopped chocolate.
