Paul Hollywood Brownie Recipe Classic Bake
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 16 servings 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Description
Master the classic Paul Hollywood Brownie! This intensely chocolatey, fudgy dessert, made with dark chocolate and butter, is perfect for any sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- 200g (7 oz) Good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa minimum)
- 175g (6 oz) Unsalted butter
- 200g (1 cup) Granulated sugar
- 3 large Fresh eggs
- 85g (2/3 cup) All-purpose flour
- 40g (1/3 cup) Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven and prep your pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Melt chocolate and butter: In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second bursts), gently melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together until smooth and fully combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Whip eggs and sugar: In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until they are pale, thick, and slightly frothy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Combine wet ingredients: Gradually fold the slightly cooled melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in dry ingredients: Sift in the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder, along with the pinch of salt. Gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid cakey brownies.
- Bake your brownies: Pour the batter into your prepared 9×13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. The center should still have a slight wobble for ultimate fudginess.
- Cool completely: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out with the parchment paper overhang and slicing. This patience is key for clean, perfect squares.
Notes
- Substitutions: For a milder taste, you can use semi-sweet chocolate. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, a good quality 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works beautifully.
- Pro Tip: The better the chocolate, the more exquisite your Paul Hollywood Brownie Recipe Classic Bake will taste. Investing in premium ingredients truly makes a difference.
- Variations: Feel free to customize your Paul Hollywood Brownie Recipe by adding a cup of chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or a swirl of creamy caramel to the batter before baking. For a truly unique and easy dessert idea, you could even add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top!
- Troubleshooting: If your Paul Hollywood brownies seem too dry, you likely overbaked them; for a gooey center, err on the side of underbaking this Paul Hollywood Brownie Recipe Classic Bake. Practice makes perfect!
