I've only made two loaves with chocolate in before and neither of them with sourdough, so I have some catching up to do. A child who doesn't like chunks of chocolate?

You had a streak of genius with this one (although this seems to be a regular occurrence with you haha ;p).<br />"I really want to experiment with more chocolate in bread." I think you should!<br />I find it funny that Sylvia doesn't like chunks in her food. I was the same way when I was her age (and until I was in my late 20's!), but never with chocolate! That's the best kind of chunk to have in something =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741739604149676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-12876858462162681042016-06-19T14:09:17.001+10:002016-06-19T14:09:17.001+10:00what a great combination of ingredients-- I can se...what a great combination of ingredients-- I can see why it was a success!Veganopouloushttp://www.veganopoulous.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-62105916182358116422016-06-18T23:14:47.006+10:002016-06-18T23:14:47.006+10:00Thanks Joey - I had visions of an endless loaf of ...Thanks Joey - I had visions of an endless loaf of this in the freezer but it disappeared too quickly :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-58115656271180502662016-06-17T01:07:59.716+10:002016-06-17T01:07:59.716+10:00That's such a delicious combination of flavour...That's such a delicious combination of flavours in a loaf.

I just took my favourite overnight sourdough recipe and added in the fun chunks and flavours - so I think you could take a regular overnight bread recipe like Jim Lahey's and add the chunks - I think it probably is easiest if you don't have to do lots of kneading. I haven't done this but I think soaking the fruit would help make sure it remains moist. I really must try it without sourdough (though the starter always wants to be part of everything)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-24066372546030345662016-06-13T19:40:40.612+10:002016-06-13T19:40:40.612+10:00Thanks VegHog - I am looking forward to seeing wha...Thanks VegHog - I am looking forward to seeing what you come up withJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-72883567684195969392016-06-13T19:39:52.546+10:002016-06-13T19:39:52.546+10:00Thanks Louise - am sure Sylvia will learn to love ...Thanks Louise - am sure Sylvia will learn to love chunks - working on it, esp when I have the energy.

I guess I'll have to get some of that malt extract too.

Our local and well-known bakery Zingerman's makes a chocolate sourdough bread and also a chocolate cherry bread. Both have chunks. Many of our family members love it; I prefer some of the more savory breads they make. Although they give baking lessons, I suspect I will continue to buy their bread rather than learn to make it.<br /><br />best... mae at maefood.blogspot.comMae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.com
