Now, let's do it!

INGREDIENTS


Yield 48 oz.


5.9 oz. Unsweetened chocolate

8.9 oz. Butter

5 to 6 Eggs

17.8 oz Sugar

1/2 tsp Salt

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

5.9 oz. Bread Flour

INSTRUCTIONS


Modified sponge method

Makeup - Sheet method or hotel pan. Grease and flour the pans, or line with parchment. 


Bake: 325 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes.

  • Melt the chcolate and butter together in a double boiler. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Mix the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanill until well blended, but do not whip. (Whipping to a foam creates more leavening, resulting in a more crumbly, fudgy brownie).
  • Blend in the chocolate mixture.
  • Sift the flour in and fold in.
  • Fold in nuts, if using.
