Chocolate, orange & cranberry sourdough
A tangy, rich and very indulgent sourdough loaf.
Made with orange zest and cocoa throughout the dough, with pieces of dark chocolate and orange-soaked cranberries folded in.

Indulge me!
I almost got this far! Wait until I try it with cranberries. (Do have dried Elderberries... This has been a concentrated harvest this year here in Austria. A very flavourful year!
I've been pepping up my fridge starters (Rye and Einkorn) and since I'm discarding (heavy on the sour, low on yeast) decided to make myself a thick breakfast crepe. (Ended up with two, Dolly got the first one, plain.)
Took equal parts from both starters (about half a large coffee cup full) added an egg and hefty soup spoon or two of "Spar Vital KeimKraft-Weizenmehl" sprouted flour mix, orange zest, added a super big pinch baking soda to cut the sour and raise the pancake and add a little salt. ... sometime I splashed a bit of sweet cream into the batter. :)
Fried in unsalted butter, rolled up and topped with elderberry-apple vinegar jelly (about the closest I can get to cranberries sweet/sour at the moment.) Part of a broken chocolate (75%) bar and the lightest dusting of powdered sugar. Then indulged myself. ...So I know where this is going... :)
This loaf is next! (but I'm adding in some Einkorn sourdough to see how that comes out...)
Also, might just whip up some cream and fold in elderberry-apple jelly (or cranberry jam) something special to spread on the bread.
