Triple Choco Coffee Sourdough Bread from Le Stanze Bistrot Cafe

Le Stanze Bistrot Cafe – There is something irresistible about the blend of chocolate and coffee in bread. At Le Stanze Bistrot Cafe, we love to experiment with flavors that bring comfort and indulgence together in every bite. Our Triple Choco Coffee Sourdough Bread is a special creation that combines the natural tang of sourdough with the richness of dark cocoa, the bitterness of coffee, and the sweetness of three kinds of chocolate. The result is a loaf that is soft, aromatic, and decadently loaded with chocolate pockets that melt in your mouth.

This bread may take time and patience, but the process is deeply rewarding. Unlike quick breads, sourdough develops flavor slowly, creating complexity and texture that cannot be rushed. Every fold, rest, and bake contributes to the final loaf that is not only beautiful to look at but also extraordinary to taste.

Whether enjoyed as a breakfast indulgence, an afternoon treat, or even a dessert centerpiece, this bread promises to satisfy both bread lovers and chocolate enthusiasts. Below, we share the recipe details so you can try it at home and experience a slice of Le Stanze Bistrot Cafe in your kitchen.

Ingredients

Component	Ingredients
Main Dough	160 g water 40 g chocolate starter 10 g honey 200 g bread flour (high protein) 4 g salt
Chocolate-Coffee Paste	10 g cocoa powder 2 g instant coffee 25 g boiling water
Filling	60 g dark chocolate (chopped) 20 g white chocolate (chopped)

Method in 6 Simplified Steps

1. Prepare the Dough
   In a mixing bowl, combine water, chocolate starter, and honey. Stir until well mixed. Add bread flour and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour.
2. Incorporate Chocolate-Coffee Paste
   Mix cocoa powder, coffee, and boiling water until smooth, then let it cool. Add the paste and salt into the dough. Knead until fully combined, about 8–10 minutes. Cover and rest for another hour.
3. Folding and Bulk Fermentation
   Perform 2–3 sets of folds (stretch and fold or coil fold) at 45-minute intervals to build gluten strength. After the final fold, let the dough ferment for about 3 hours at room temperature (around 25°C).
4. Add Chocolate Filling
   Lightly moisten the work surface and stretch the dough into a rectangle. Sprinkle one-third of the chopped chocolates over the surface, fold, and repeat with the remaining filling until fully enclosed. Place the dough seam-side down in a lightly oiled container. Rest for 45 minutes.
5. Shape and Cold Proof
   Dust the banneton with rice flour. Gently shape the dough into a log, seam side up, and place it in the banneton. Cover and refrigerate for 12–18 hours to allow slow fermentation.
6. Bake the Loaf
   Preheat the oven with a Dutch oven (or enamel pot) to 250°C. Transfer the cold dough onto parchment paper, score the top, and place it into the hot pot. Spray generously with water, cover, and bake for 23 minutes. Remove the lid, lower the heat to 220°C, and bake for another 15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Serving Suggestions

Once cooled and sliced, the bread reveals a dark, chocolatey crumb with bursts of melted chocolate throughout. Pair it with a cup of espresso for a bold flavor experience or with a glass of milk for a comforting balance. At Le Stanze Bistrot Cafe, we love serving it slightly warm so the chocolate is still gooey inside.
