How to Make Rich Sourdough Chocolate Brownies
- Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 12 ounces of chopped bittersweet chocolate and 1/4 cup of hot water. Stir constantly until smooth and melted.
- Bring the chocolate mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat. Pour into a small glass bowl and whisk in 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix until well combined.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool to lukewarm.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of active sourdough starter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites to stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan. Let it rest in a warm, draft-free place for 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
