Ingredients
  

For the dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups cool tap water
  • 1/2 tsp Instant or rapid rise yeast
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 3 1/8 cups unbleached all purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon Fiori di Sicilia, this has a citrus and vanilla flavor
  • 3 Tbsp orange zest or 1 teaspoon orange juice fruit powder
  • 1 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, yeast, sugar, vanilla, orange zest and chocolate chunks. Add water and mix until a shaggy mixture forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12 – 18 hours. Overnight works great.
  • Add the lidded pot to the cold oven then heat oven to 450-f degrees.
  • Meanwhile, pour dough onto a heavily floured surface and shape into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let set while the pot is heating.
  • Remove hot pot from the oven carefully. Add a piece of parchment paper to the bottom and place the dough on top. Cover and return to oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes remove the lid and bake an additional 15 minutes. Remove bread from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.

    1. Hi Aurora- I haven’t tried this but I would think you could sub the zest of an orange and/or a lemon and a little vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste in place of the Fiora di Sicilia

  1. This looks amazing, chocolate and orange, it doesn’t get better. Just a question. I have another recipe that says to put cast iron pot in the oven when you turn it on, as it heats to 450 degrees, then pull it out 30 minutes later. Your recipe says to “preheat” the oven to 450 degrees before putting the pot in for 30 minutes. It seems to me the first option would work as well, it isn’t going to get any hotter. This saves gas/electricity too. I live where we only have bottled gas and I am very careful how long I have my oven on for.
