Instructions
Combine the flours, salt, brown sugar, yeast and spices in a large bowl.
Add the warm water, walnuts, cranberries and chocolate and stir together with a spatula until all the ingredients are just combined and incorporated.
With floured hands, form the mixture into a rough ball of dough in the bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Turn the risen dough out onto a piece of parchment paper.
Re-form into a nicely shaped circular loaf and place the dough with the parchment paper into the Cast Iron 2-in-1 Pot (or 5 qt. Dutch oven).
With a sharp serrated knife, score the top of the dough a few times in any pattern you'd like.
Cover the dough once more with plastic wrap and let rise another 1-2 hours.
During the last 15 minutes of rising time, preheat oven to 450°F.
Remove plastic wrap and place the top of the Cast Iron 2-in-1 Pot on top to seal. Place the entire pot in the oven and bake for 25 minutes covered.
Remove the lid after 25 minutes and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes until golden brown on top.
Remove the pot from oven and transfer the bread by picking up the sides of the parchment paper to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
