Sourdough S’mores Bread: A Campfire Treat in Loaf Form
Sourdough and s’mores—two of my favorite things—come together in this irresistible, chocolatey, marshmallow-studded loaf that tastes just like a cozy campfire treat. The tangy depth of sourdough balances the sweetness of the classic s’mores ingredients, making it a fun and unique bake perfect for sharing!

Ingredients:
- 100g active sourdough starter
- 325g water
- 500g bread flour
- 10g salt
- 130g chocolate chips
- 100g mini marshmallows
- 1 sleeve graham crackers, crushed into bite-sized pieces
Method:
1. Mix the Dough
Combine the sourdough starter, water, bread flour, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Cover using beeswax wrap and let it rest for 1 hour to allow the flour to hydrate.
2. Add the Chocolate & Marshmallows
After the rest, incorporate the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows into the dough. Perform your first set of stretch and folds, ensuring the add-ins are evenly distributed.
3. Strengthen the Dough
Do three sets of stretch and folds, spacing them 40 minutes apart. This helps build strength and structure in the dough.
4. Shape & Add the Graham Crackers
When it’s time for final shaping, gently flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the surface. Shape the dough into a boule or batard, tucking in the graham cracker pieces as you shape it. Place the dough into a floured banneton or lined bowl.
5. Overnight Cold Fermentation
Cover the shaped dough and place it in the refrigerator overnight (8-12 hours). This slow fermentation enhances the flavor and gives the dough structure.
6. Bake
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a Dutch oven inside to heat up. Once preheated, carefully flip the dough onto parchment paper, score the sourdough smores bread with one deep score, then transfer into the hot Dutch oven.
- Bake for 40 minutes with the lid on
- Remove the lid and bake for another 5-10 minutes to develop a golden, crispy crust.
7. Cool & Enjoy
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing (I know, the wait is tough!). The chocolate will be gooey, the marshmallows will have melted into caramelized pockets of sweetness, and the graham crackers will add a delightful swirl of honey flavor.
How to Serve:
This Sourdough S’mores Bread is delicious as-is, but here are some extra ways to enjoy it:
- Toasted with butter for an extra-crispy treat
- Topped with peanut butter for a fun twist
- Used as French toast for an indulgent breakfast
This loaf is a fun, nostalgic bake that brings a bit of campfire magic into your kitchen!
