Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your active sourdough starter with the bread flour and warm water. Stir until it forms a shaggy dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. After resting, sprinkle salt over the dough and start kneading it on a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it ferment at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours, performing stretch and folds every 30 to 45 minutes.
  4. Once the dough has risen nicely, fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chunks gently.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a floured proofing basket, seam side up, and let it proof for 1 to 2 hours.
  6. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is proofing.
  7. Transfer the dough onto parchment paper, score the top, and place it in the Dutch oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
  8. Transfer the bread to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Ensure your sourdough starter is bubbly and well-fed for optimal rise. Avoid over-kneading to maintain airy texture. Let the bread cool completely to set the crumb perfectly.
