Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13×9-inch baking pan and set it aside.
In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate over low heat, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Once melted, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
After the chocolate mixture has cooled, whisk in the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, whisking each egg in completely before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually combine this dry mixture with the chocolate mixture, whisking until smooth.
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool before cutting into squares.

Notes

Ensure the butter and chocolate are melted on low heat to avoid scorching.
For extra flavor, consider adding nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature.
