Steps for baking these Sourdough Discard Brownies
To make these brownies, start off by adding your chocolate and butter to a medium sauce pan, over medium heat melt these two ingredients together
While the butter and chocolate are melting, in the bowl of your stand mixer add the eggs, and sugars. Using the whisk attachment set your stand mixer to high and whisk until the egg sugar mixture becomes light in color and forms soft peaks! This will take a couple minutes, don’t rush this step! It is what gives the brownies that delicious crispy top.

Once the chocolate and butter are melted together and smooth, to this mixture whisk in the cocoa, vanilla, and sourdough discard.
After that you want to transfer the chocolate mixture into the stand mixer with the egg sugar mixture, and whisk together on medium high.
Remove the bowl from the stand mixture and stir in the flour and salt. Once fully combined pour the batter into a 9×9 pan lined with parchment and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35-40 minutes. Check them by inserting a toothpick into the center. You want it to come out ALMOST clean! A little chocolate sticking to the toothpick is okay and will give them a more fudgy center!
Cool the brownies completely before cutting.
