Ingredients
- 100 grams butter
- 100 grams milk chocolate
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup bread flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- chocolate chips or nuts optional, for topping
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate
- Fill a medium-sized pot with water, about one-third full, and bring it to a boil.
- Chop the 100 grams milk chocolate and 100 grams dark chocolate into small pieces. Place them in a medium-sized glass bowl along with 100 grams butter. Set the bowl on top of the pot with boiling water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir gently until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Combine Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup granulated white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 3 eggs. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and the sugars have dissolved.
- Add a pinch of salt, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg and sugar mixture. Whisk until everything is uniform.
Sift in Dry Ingredients
- Place a strainer over the bowl and sift in 1/2 cup bread flour and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture to avoid any lumps.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F).
- Lightly grease a baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips or nuts on top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
Cool and Serve
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 2 hours at room temperature. After cooling, cut into squares and serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
