Day 1 - Starter Build
Dissolve starter in water, whisk in flour, and cover. Let sit at room temperature (74–78°F) for 10–12 hours until peaked.
Day 2 - Mixing & Bulk Fermentation
Mix flour, cocoa, water, starter, honey, and sugar on low speed for 3–4 minutes.
Add salt and mix until a ball forms. Incorporate softened butter and increase speed, mixing for 10 minutes until the dough is strong and supple.
Cover and proof at 76–80°F for 5–6 hours. Perform 3 sets of stretch-and-folds during the first 3 hours.
Shaping & Cold Fermentation
Shape into a taut roll. Spray with water and roll generously in oats.
Place in a proofing basket or lined loaf pan. Let rest for 15 minutes at room temp, then refrigerate for 14–24 hours.
Baking
Preheat oven to 500°F with a baking steel inside.
Score the loaf and transfer to the hot steel. Cover with a Baking Shell and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove shell, lower heat to 450°F, and bake for 20 more minutes until golden brown.
