- Make the Dough– in a large mixing bowl combine the 3 1/2 cups flour, 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup sugar. In a separate large measuring cup mix together the 1 1/2 cups warm water and 4 tablespoons butter melted. Pour the water into the bowl with the flour and mix with a wooden spoon or dough whisk. Mix until a soft, sticky dough is formed.
- Stretch and Fold– cover the dough with plastic wrap and/or a clean kitchen towel. After 15 minutes, dip your fingertips in water then pull, stretch, and fold to the center the dough on one side, repeat four times on every side of the dough. Repeat this stretch and fold 2 more times, in 15 minute increments, covering after each stretch and fold.
- Shape– on a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough out into a square. Sprinkle some of the 1 cup chocolate chips over the dough. Fold one side into the middle of square, add more chocolate chips on top of that fold. Fold the last side up over that side, then sprinkle more chocolate chips. Roll the dough into a ball and roll around the table to make it into a smooth ball.

- Bake– place the dough into a parchment lined cast iron Dutch oven pan. Cover the pan and bake for 30 minutes, remove the lid, bake an additional 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Slice– cool the bread on a wire rack, not in the pan. Enjoy!!
