One of the remarkable features of this recipe is the no-knead technique. Traditional bread-making can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but with no-knead bread, you can achieve exceptional results with minimal effort. The dough ferments and develops gluten structure over a longer period, resulting in a beautifully textured bread. This technique allows you to indulge in homemade chocolate bread without the hassle of kneading, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned bakers and beginners.

The richness of the chocolate intertwines with the subtle sweetness of the bread, resulting in an unforgettable sensory experience.
Versatility and Customization
No-Knead Chocolate Bread offers endless possibilities for customization. Here are a few suggestions to take your bread to the next level:
Add chocolate chunks, nuts, or dried fruits to the dough for extra texture and bursts of flavor.
Drizzle a chocolate glaze or sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant finishing touch.
Pair slices with creamy spreads like hazelnut butter or raspberry preserves for a delightful twist.

Save RecipeIngredients
- 3 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 tbs Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Sugar
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Dry Active Yeast
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tbs warm water
- 2 cups Chocolate Chunks/Chips
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine water, yeast, and 1/4 tsp sugar (call me superstitious but I prefer to not use a metal utensil to mix). Let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 tbs sugar, cocoa powder, salt, chocolate chunks and flour .
- Add Water/yeast mixture to flour and mix until a shaggy dough forms. It will be slightly sticky.
- Place in a buttered or oiled bowl. Cover dough and let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 7 hours (up to 18 hours).
- Transfer the dough to a well-floured piece of parchment paper on your work surface.
- Fold the dough onto itself, pulling the outer edges towards the center creating a ball. Continue to do this until you create a ball that is tight, smooth, and holds its shape.
- Pick up the parchment paper with the dough ball and place back into your prepared bowl, cover, and let it rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and place Dutch oven, with lid on, inside to preheat.
- Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the lid of the dutch oven. Using your parchment paper as handles, transfer the dough ball into the preheated dutch oven. Place the lid back onto the dutch oven and back for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Using the parchment paper as a handle, place the bread on a cooling rack. Allow bread to cool for at least 1 hour before cutting.
- Enjoy!
