How to make Chocolate Brownies | Jamie Oliver
We're gonna make the most incrediblechocolate brownie. Yes!
Who doesn't love a beautiful, deliciouschocolate brownie. I wanna show you a
perfect one. No flavouring, no nuts, nofruit just chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
It's gonna be crisp and it's gonna puffup and then it's gonna crack. It's gonna be
gooey in the middle, it's gonna blow yourmind.
First up chocolate. Come have a littlelook at this. This is beautiful 70 percent
cocoa solid chocolate. 70 percentmeans the amount of cocoa solids in the chocolate.
It will taste a little bitbitter when you eat it like this right
but when you mix it with butter andsugar and all the other ingredients it's
gonna be amazing.So 250 grams of chocolate goes in a bowl.
I've got a pan simmering very gently. Putthat over the top. Then I've got 250 grams
of butter. Try and get the best oneyou can because the best butter, the best
chocolate, makes the best brownie. So ifyou're gonna make brownie it's a
wonderful treat, but if you're gonna doit do it properly. Do it really, really well.
Dice up the butter and get it intothe bowl and just very gently we wanna
melt that down gently, gently. Next up thesugar and the eggs. Four eggs into a bowl.
Lovely free-range, organic eggs is gonnagive you a better product. 250 grams of
golden caster sugar and whisk up theeggs and the sugar until the sugar's
fully dissolved. As you beat it, it goespale, fluffy and light and that will be
your texture and it will also give youthe crispiest little topping for your brownie.
And if you want the recipe forthis just click the link go over to
jamieoliver.com I've got this recipe andthousands of others. Go and fill your boots!
Then it comes to the flour part.Two heaped tablespoons of self-raising
flour by using the little sieve you'reallowing the flour to be as light and as
delicate as it can be. Two heaped tablespoons ofquality cocoa powder. Use the whisk now
fold it don't beat it. If I just sitthere and beat it then we lose all the
air that we put in to the eggs. Thechocolate is almost done and a lovely
little tip right just get a pinch ofsalt and season your chocolate. It sounds
weird but it makes all the difference.It opens up your
taste buds, it allows you to taste thefull flavour of the chocolate and it
genuinely really does make a difference.I got given that tip like 25 years ago
from this incredible French chocolatierand I've always done it since and it works.
And then we're gonna go in withevery last bit of it. Look at that, look
at the colour, look at the shine. Back tothe folding. Have a look at that,
we've still got air in there and ofcourse at this point you can lick the
whisk, it's filthy but who wouldn't! I'vegot myself a lovely cake mould and then
we're gonna go in with that amazingbrownie every last bit of it. Move it
around get it into the corners look atthat. Chocolate heaven. And I've put it
into one of my tins here. If you wannacheck out my lovely range of bakeware
check it out there's a whole bunch ofdifferent shapes and sizes, beautiful colour.
Now I'm gonna put this in an ovenon fan at 180 degrees Celsius which is 350
Fahrenheit and close the door gently andthat's gonna be amazing. It will take
about half an hour to cook but I willshow you exactly what I'm looking for
for the perfect brownie because it lookslike you've got to slightly under cook
it but you've gotta have the faith. Trustme.
Look at that! That's just under 30 minutes and you can see it's poofed up right it's gone really crisp on the
outside and if you just shake it, can yousee that wobble? Right so I do want it
cooked on the outside but it's slightlyunder in the middle and I just wanna
let that cool down for about 15 minutesbefore you even think about eating it.
Hold yourself back! Don't go in! Let itcool down and then you're gonna get more
flavour and you're gonna get more texture.It's gonna be amazing.
Let's get into there, let's have a look at the texture. Ilove the way that when you cut through
it, look that's what you want.Oozieness. You can see that the top is
almost sharding it's cracking. Guys, guys,guys. Come and see that. Yes! So this is
what I want for you. Right, it's reallycrisp and delicate and thin on the top.
It's kind of spongy around the outsidehere and then in the middle it's oozie
and gorgeous and unctious and chocolatey and the chocolate will taste different
because of that cooking, right? So that isgood. We like that. A nice little scoop of
vanilla ice cream. Some hazelnuts,chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla ice cream.
Come on you know it makes sense! And thenwhat we love to do in the restaurants is popcorn.
Of course that little bit of heat fromthe brownie, it's gonna start to melt the
ice cream really, really nice. Right,enough talking let's get a nice small
spoon and let's have a little try up.
Mmm! That is a very agreeable brownie it's
really good. Guys go on, that's what yougotta do this weekend or today and enjoy.
Take care.
