Fudgy Chewy Homemade Brownie Food

FUDGY BROWNIES I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cocoa and baking soda. Add 1/3 cup vegetable oil and boiling water. Mix until well blended and thickened. Stir in the sugar, eggs, and remaining 1/3 cup oil. Finally, add the flour, vanilla and salt; mix just until all of the flour is absorbed. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool before cutting into squares.

THE BEST EVER FUDGE BROWNIES

• Add in flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
• Stir in chips and nuts if desired.
• Bake at 350 for approx 25-30 minutes, depending on your oven.
• Do not over-bake.

THE BEST FUDGY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking pan, preferably metal, with nonstick baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the butter is a deep golden color, about 5 minutes; the butter will hiss and spit as the whey evaporates so be careful. As the foam subsides the butter will go from a canary yellow color to golden. When it does, take it off the heat. Add the chocolate and cream to the butter and let it sit, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted.
• Sift the flour and cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, espresso powder and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high speed until the eggs are pale, very thick and fluffy, about 8 minutes (start your timer when you get to high speed). Do not be tempted to skimp on the mix time; this step is key to getting the signature shiny, crackled brownie top. Reduce the speed to low and slowly pour the warm chocolate into the eggs; beat until completely incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined; do not overmix. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and fold until the batter is completely combined.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the brownies are glossy and just barely firm, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 205 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes. Don't let the thermometer touch the bottom of the pan or you will get a much higher reading. (The cook time will be at the higher end of the range if using a glass or ceramic baking dish.)
• Let the brownies cool completely to allow the crumb to set before slicing, about 3 hours.
• Use an offset spatula to loosen the brownies from the sides of the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Remove the parchment and cut into 24 squares.

CHEWY AND FUDGY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Toast nuts on a foil lined sheet pan until fragrant, about 7 minutes.
• While nuts are toasting break chocolate up into small pieces and place in a medium microwave safe bowl with the butter. Melt Butter with chocolate in the microwave, about 2 minutes at 50% power. Stir and continue to microwave at 50% power as required, stirring every 60 seconds. This can also be done over a double boiler.
• Let allow chocolate mixture and roasted nuts to cool.
• Meanwhile lightly beat eggs and vanilla in a small bowl and prepare a pan, 8 x 8 for thick brownies and 13 x 9 for thin ones. Line pan with foil or parchment and grease. Leave enough lining overhanging to lift the brownies out of the pan when complete.
• In a heavy duty plastic bag smash nuts with a rolling pin until well crushed, add remaining dry & optional ingredients - shake to combine.
• Slowly pour egg mixture into chocolate while stirring, mixture will thicken slightly.
• Add dry ingredients in three batches, stir with a wooden spoon and ensure that each batch is fully incorporated before adding the next. Spread mixture into prepared pan with an angled spatula or a large spoon.
• Bake the 13 x 9 pan for 30-35 minutes, the 8 x 8 for 45-70 minutes Or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out just slightly moist. Cooking time varies all over the place depending on type of pan and your oven. I use natural aluminum pans, have a calibrated thermometer and keep a pizza stone in the oven for consistency. Whatever you do to insure that that you don't over cook, simply start checking when they start to smell like brownies! You can rotate the pan halfway through the cooking process to even things out if desired.
• Cool in the pan on a rack. Remove from pan by lifting foil liner, place on a cutting board and cut into squares.

CHEWY, FUDGY TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350°F Spray 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick vegetable cooking spray.
• Fold two 12-inch pieces of foil lengthwise so that they measure 7 inches wide. Fit one sheet in bottom of greased pan, pushing it into corners and up sides of pan; overhang will help in removal of baked brownies. Following illustration 1 below, fit second sheet in pan in same manner, perpendicular to first sheet. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• In medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of almost-simmering water, melt chocolates and butter, stirring occasionally until mixture is smooth. Whisk in cocoa until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in medium bowl until combined, about 15 seconds. Whisk warm chocolate mixture into egg mixture; then stir in flour with wooden spoon until just combined. Pour mixture into prepared pan, spread into corners, and level surface with rubber spatula; bake until slightly puffed and toothpick inserted in center comes out with a small amount of sticky crumbs clinging to it, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, then remove brownies from pan using foil handles (see illustration 2, below).
• Cut into 1-inch squares and serve. (Do not cut brownies until ready to serve; brownies can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated up to 5 days.).
