Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 1.18 kg before cooking, which is about 75 g per serving.
Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together until smooth.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and dark brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes to help create a shiny, crackly top.
Stir in the sourdough starter discard until fully incorporated.
Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula just until no streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing to ensure the best texture.
Notes
For the best results, use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients by weight. The sourdough discard adds moisture and a slight tang that balances the sweetness of the chocolate.
