Chocolate Sourdough with Chestnuts and Chocolate Chips

After a not so successful chocolate loaf, I tried to copy the Full Proof baking recipe, but added chestnuts, doubled the chocolate chips, and replaced 30g of water with yeast water. I went the easy route and did just one dough, and not dough A&B as the recipe suggests.  

This loaf was 78% hydration, 90% bread flour, and 10% fresh ground wheat.

Thanks, Benny! It tastes good, but next time I'll add even more chocolate for sure!
