Welcome to the video and introduction of the recipe.

Measure 85 g of sourdough starter and ensure it is active.

Zero out the scale and add 200 g of warm water (about 100°F).

Mix the sourdough starter and water together.

Add 40 g of light brown sugar and mix well.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix again.

Zero out the scale and add 300 g of bread flour.

Sift in 30 g of cocoa powder and add 6 g of salt.

Mix all the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms, using a spurtle or hands to incorporate the dry flour.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it bulk ferment on the counter for 3 to 5 hours.

After 5 hours, check the dough; it should have risen and be stretchy.

Add 75 g of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dough during the shaping process.

Perform stretch and folds to incorporate the chocolate chips into the dough.

Cover the dough again to prevent it from drying out.

Let the dough rest for at least 1 hour on the countertop or refrigerate it for several hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 450°F and preheat a Dutch oven inside.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and score the top before baking.
