Sourdough Rye Brownies image

Low-gluten rye flour is more forgiving than common wheat flour which can make brownies dry if overbaked. You will find these a fudgy, sweet and lightly fermented addition to your brownie repertoire

Yield Makes 12-16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 17

Stage 1: Refreshment
72g (2¾ oz) wholegrain rye flour
57g (2¼ oz) water
36g (1½ oz) rye or wheat starter (8-12 hours after last refreshment)
Stage 2: First mix
194g (6¾ oz) wholegrain rye flour
250g (9 oz)/5 whole eggs,beaten
100g (3½ oz) sugar
Stage 3: Final mix
195g (6¾ oz) unsalted butter
475g (1lb ½ oz) dark chocolate, at least 66% cocoa solids
77g (3 oz) sugar
265g (9¼ oz) dark brown sugar
70g (2¾ oz) good quality cocoa powder
5g (⅛ oz) vanilla extract
3g (⅛ oz) baking soda
2g (⅛ oz) sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Place all the stage 1 ingredients in a 300ml (½ pint) jar or container with a lid, mix, cover and leave at warm room temperature for 4-6 hours.
  • Place the stage 2 ingredients plus 125g (4 oz) of the starter in a large bowl, stir well with a whisk, cover and leave in a warm place for 1-2 hours or more time if it suits you. It won't rise much but you should see some bubbles as evidence of fermentation on the surface of the mix.
  • In the hour before you plan to do the final mix and bake, melt the butter and chocolate in a small heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Set aside to cool for 30 minutes. Line a 25cm (10 in) square tin with baking parchment.
  • Preheat the oven to 160ºC/325ºF/gas mark 3.
  • Add the melted chocolate and butter plus the remaining stage 3 ingredients into the bowl with the batter. Whisk until well combined. Pour into the lined tin and smooth the top with the back of a spoon so it is evenly distributed.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes until the top looks dry but it still has a slight wobble. It's difficult to overbake these. Sprinkle with additional sea salt, if liked, after they come out of the oven and leave to cool in the tin. When cool cut into squares to serve. The brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
