Rocky Recchiuti Brownies
- Flavorless vegetable oil for the pan
- 5 1/2 ounces 100% unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped, divided
- 10 tablespoons (5 ounces) unsalted butter with 82% butterfat, cut into 1-inch slices
- 2/3 cup (3 1/2 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 (6 ounces) extra-large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, preferably Madagascar Bourbon
- 1 1/3 cups (10 ounces) granulated cane sugar
- 1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) walnut halves, roasted and roughly chopped
- 6 marshmallows, each 1 1/2 inches square, cut into quarters
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- Line the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and liberally coat the paper and the pan sides with flavorless vegetable oil.
- Put 3 ounces of the chocolate and the butter in a medium stainless-steel bowl and set over a pot of simmering water.
- Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter melt and are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Lift the bowl from the pot.
- Set aside.
- Sift the flour and salt together into a bowl.
- In another bowl, combine the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk together by hand until blended.
- Whisk in the sugar.
- Whisk the egg mixture into the chocolate.
- Add the flour and the remaining 2 1/2 ounces chocolate to the batter and, using a rubber spatula, mix well.
- Then mix in the walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Spread it evenly with a small offset spatula.
- Scatter the marshmallow pieces evenly over the surface and push them halfway into the batter.
- The tops should remain uncovered.
- Bake on the middle shelf of the oven until the marshmallows are browned and a skewer inserted into the center of the brownie sheet comes out with some batter clinging to it, about 45 minutes.
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold.
- Run a table knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the sides of the brownie, and then slide the brownie, still on the paper, onto a work surface.
- Using a ruler to guide you and a sharp knife, cut into sixteen 2-inch squares.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
