How to Make Our Favorite Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 18cm square baking pan.
  2. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt 170g (1 1/2 cups) bittersweet chocolate and 115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, stirring until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 170g (1 1/2 cups) granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 115g (1 cup) all-purpose flour until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Whisk in 2 large eggs one at a time, followed by 1 large egg yolk. Mix until the batter is thick and smooth.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (slightly gooey is okay!).
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
