Decadent Double Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Allow it to preheat while you prepare the brownie batter.

2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with a small amount of butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

3. Melt the Chocolates and Butter:
- Combine the unsweetened chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Stir occasionally until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

4. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the granulated sugar and the slightly cooled chocolate mixture.
- Stir until fully combined.
- Add the vanilla extract.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

6. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the brownies tender.

7. Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

8. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before cutting them into squares.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
