DOPE DOUGH – FUDGE BROWNIE

To create a fudge brownie using the concept of “Dope Dough,” we can draw inspiration from the various brownie recipes available, particularly focusing on achieving that rich, fudgy texture and flavor. Below is a step-by-step guide to making fudge brownies.

Step 1: Gather Ingredients of DOPE DOUGH – FUDGE BROWNIE

For a classic fudge brownie recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• Butter: 1 cup (unsalted)
• Sugar: 2 cups (granulated)
• Brown Sugar: 1 cup (packed)
• Eggs: 4 large
• Vanilla Extract: 2 teaspoons
• All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup
• Cocoa Powder: 1 cup (unsweetened)
• Salt: ½ teaspoon
• Chocolate Chips: 1 cup (semi-sweet or dark)

Step 2: Preheat the Oven of DOPE DOUGH – FUDGE BROWNIE

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature is ideal for baking brownies, ensuring they cook evenly without becoming dry.

Step 3: Prepare the Baking Pan

Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter or non-stick spray. This will help in removing the brownies easily after baking.

Step 4: Melt Butter and Mix Sugars

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove it from heat and stir in both granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.

Step 5: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Allow the butter-sugar mixture to cool slightly before adding eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; this will keep your brownies fudgy rather than cakey.

Step 7: Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in chocolate chips into the batter for added richness and texture. This step enhances the chocolate flavor throughout the brownies.

Step 8: Bake

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.

Step 9: Cool and Serve

Once baked, remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
