(* For the instruction below, the numbers before and after the slash (/) are for the 1st formula and the 2nd formula respectively)

 

Sift out the bran from dough flour, reserve 35/30 g for the leaven. Soak the rest, if any, in equal amount of water taken from dough ingredients. 


Combine all leaven ingredients and let sit until ready, about 6.5/4.5 hours (24.5/25.5°C). Roughly combine all dough ingredients except for the chocolate. Ferment for a total of 3/3.5 hours. Construct 2 rounds of 3 minute Rubaud mixing at the 20 and 40 minute mark. Fold in the reserved add-ins by a set of lamination at the 50 minute mark. After the bulk fermentation, shape the dough then put in into a banneton directly. Freeze it for 1 hour before retarding in the fridge for 8 hours.

Preheat the oven at 250°C/482°F. Score and spritz the dough. Remove the dough from the fridge and bake straight at 250°C/482°F with steam for 20 minutes then without steam for 25 minutes more or until the internal temperature reaches a minimum of 208°F. Let it cool for a minimum of 2 hours before slicing.

 

 

Personally, I prefer the walnut bread. It’s sweeter and moister when compared with the chocolate one. That said, switching things up a bit is seldom a bad idea, especially when chocolate is involved :)

Oh all those delicious lamb dishes. I love lamb!

And my logic...if chocolate is good, walnut is better then BOTH would be the best ?

Unfortunately I'm the only one who appreciates its characteristic flavour. For this reason, I can't cook it as often as I'd like... It's not all bad though, at least I don't have to feel guilty for not wanting to share :) 

I like you logic. Why pick between chocolate and nuts when you can have both? That's what brownies is all about after all! No dried fruits with chocolate for me but nuts are always welcome.

I am back at tracking my calorie intake and you go and post these dishes! Cruel! Just cruel! ?

What's wrong with having tasty food when dieting? Many believe that delicious food is always calorific and healthy food means boring meals. Yet I think we have a very different mindset since SD bread tastes great without the need of added fat or sugar! When there're scrumptious dishes worth looking forward to, I'm far less likely to reach for naughty snacks. I mean, that bag of chips doesn't look appealing anymore next to SD pizza or lamb tacos, no? :)

Good thing proper meals are often satisfying, or else I might totally overeat "good" food... Good luck keeping your calorie intake in check!

I just gained several pounds imagining how good all your food tastes Elsie, yummy.

Otherwise I could have gained 10 pounds overnight. It makes me shudder just thinking about it... 

Go make some palatable dishes, Benny! Pleasure eating doesn't make one fat. Well, that's what I'm told at least :)
