Prep Time 30 minutes mins
Cook Time 40 minutes mins
Bulk Fermentation 6 hours hrs
Total Time 7 hours hrs 10 minutes mins
- ½ cup sourdough starter, active and bubbly
- 1 ⅓ cups warm water
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 cup Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped, chopped or whole. I left mine whole!
Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, and salt. Slowly add water, mixing until you have a sticky dough.
Once the dough comes together, knead it for about 10 minutes until smooth.
First Rise (Bulk Fermentation)
Incorporate Hershey’s Kisses
Once the dough has risen, gently flatten it into a small rectangle. Evenly space chopped Hershey’s Kisses over the dough.
Carefully fold the dough around the Kisses and roll it into a log, ensuring the chocolate is evenly distributed inside.
Score and Bake
Once the dough is ready, carefully score the top with a sharp knife or razor blade. This allows the bread to expand while baking.
Carefully transfer the dough to the preheated Dutch oven and cover. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
