Instructions
- Melt the Chocolates: In a double boiler, combine the bittersweet chocolate and butter, allowing them to melt together until smooth and well incorporated.
- Cool the Mixture: Remove from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature to ensure a smooth batter.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly without whipping to maintain the dense texture of the brownies.
- Temperature Check: If your eggs aren’t at room temperature, gently warm the mixture over a hot water bath until it reaches a slightly warm temperature, promoting better blending.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually blend in the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
- Fold in Flour: Sift the bread flour over the mixture and gently fold it in until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the brownies fudgy.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into a greased 9″ x 13″ pan, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and bake the brownies for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Serving Suggestion
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve as is, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. Enjoy your Death by Chocolate experience!
