Preparation
- In separate bowls, whisk together water, sourdough starter, vanilla paste, and bread flour for your vanilla dough; combine Dutch cocoa and black cocoa powders in another bowl for the chocolate dough. Let both doughs rest for 60 minutes.
- Employ the stretch and fold technique for each dough every 30 minutes, repeating this process for a total of 2 hours.
- On a floured surface, stack your vanilla and chocolate doughs together, gently rolling them into a log shape. Allow the dough to rest.
- Form the rested dough into your desired loaf shape. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Transfer the shaped dough to a banneton, then leave it at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Bake the dough on a hot baking stone, adding steam to achieve a crispy crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
- Once baked, transfer the loaf to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely for 2 hours before slicing.
