Frequently asked questions: Kitchen
How to bake with high-quality chocolate and how does it differ from ordinary products?
Artisanal chocolate contains only pure cocoa butter without substitutes, which guarantees a perfectly smooth texture and a deep flavor profile. Unlike ordinary bars thickened with vegetable fats, it melts better and gives desserts the authentic strength of real cocoa.
How to melt chocolate without burning or clumping?
Always melt chocolate in a water bath (bain-marie), where the temperature of the bottom of the container with water does not exceed 50 degrees Celsius. The water must not boil, and not a single drop of water must get into the chocolate, otherwise, it will irreversibly seize and clump.
What is the recipe for chocolate ganache from bean-to-bar chocolate, and how to choose chocolate for baking brownies?
To prepare ganache, heat 200 ml of heavy cream almost to a boil and pour it over 200 g of chopped premium chocolate. Let it sit for a minute and then stir until smooth. For brownies, choose a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of around 70%, which will give the dough moisture and a dense structure.
