CHOCO PAN DE COCO



Choco Pan de Coco image

Bryan Ford grew up in New Orleans, eating delicious, dense little pan de coco buns from the Honduran bodegas around town. But as a professional baker, he revisited the bread, using a sourdough starter to add dimension and texture, and even adding cocoa and chocolate chips to sweeten it up. In his cookbook, "New World Sourdough" (Quarry Books, 2020), he calls this version choco pan de coco. The key, according to Mr. Ford, is to bake with love and to celebrate the bread you make - not to compare your own bread to the one in the picture.

Time 2h

Yield 1 (8- or 9-inch) loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ounces/60 grams mature sourdough starter
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons/120 grams bread flour
1/2 cup/110 milliliters warm water
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons/200 milliliters canned coconut milk
7 ounces/200 grams levain (about 1 generous cup)
1 3/4 cups/225 grams all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cups/225 grams bread flour
1 2/3 cups/125 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
Scant 1/3 cup/50 grams bittersweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup/25 grams Dutch process cocoa powder
2 tablespoons/30 grams softened unsalted butter or coconut oil, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing the pan
2 tablespoons/30 grams light brown sugar
2 teaspoons/10 grams kosher salt

Steps:

  • Build the levain: In a large bowl, mix the mature sourdough starter, flour and warm water until incorporated. Cover, and leave in a warm place for 3 to 4 hours, or until doubled in size. Use immediately, by going to Step 2, or refrigerate to use the next day.
  • Prepare the final dough: Combine the coconut milk and with a scant 1/2 cup/100 milliliters water, and warm gently in a pan over low heat or in the microwave until steaming. Transfer to a large bowl, and add 7 ounces/200 grams of levain, along with all the remaining dough ingredients. Using your hands, squeeze everything together. Turn out onto a clean work surface, and knead, using the palm of your hand to push the dough forward and your fingers to pull it back. Repeat until the dough is mostly smooth. Cover, and let ferment for 4 hours, then refrigerate for 12 hours.
  • Coat a loaf tin with 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter, and set aside. Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface, divide into 6 pieces, and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Flatten the dough, fold the corners to the center and press down, then flip the dough to reveal a smooth surface, and tighten the dough into a ball by tucking the edges in with your palms.
  • Repeat with the remaining pieces, then place the pieces inside the tin, arranging in 2 rows of 3. Cover, and proof until dough rises by about a third, for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature.
  • To bake the bread, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 35 minutes, or until lightly brown and shiny on top, turning the pan once in the middle of cooking. Remove from the oven, let the bread rest in the hot pan for 20 minutes, then remove from the pan, and let cool for another 20 minutes.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 oz dark chocolate, 60% cocoa
6 slices 1-lb white country-style loaf, cut into 8 slices
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven or boiler to approximately 325°F. Coarsely grate the chocolate onto a plate. Place the bread on a baking sheet or heatproof plate. Toast under the broiler until golden on both sides. Spoon the grated chocolate over the toast, covering it completely. Pour the olive oil over the chocolate and sprinkle with the salt flakes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A good quality bread is essential for this recipe. Look for a bread that is slightly firm and has a good crust. A baguette or ciabatta would be a good choice.
  • Use fresh chocolate: The chocolate you use should be fresh and of good quality. This will ensure that the tapas have a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chocolate: The chocolate should be melted but not overcooked. Overcooked chocolate will be thick and grainy.
  • Serve the tapas warm: These tapas are best served warm. This will allow the chocolate to be melty and gooey.
  • Garnish with fresh fruit or nuts: You can garnish the tapas with fresh fruit or nuts for an extra touch of flavor and color.
