| Serves | 30 |
| From book | The Great British Book of Baking |
Ingredients
- 50g Dark Chocolate
- 50g White Chocolate
- 125g Unsalted Butter
- 100g Caster Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 250g Plain Flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- pinch Salt
Directions
| 1. | Melt the white chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water until melted, then set to one side to cool while you do the same to the dark chocolate. | |
| 2. | Beat the softened butter together with the sugar until light and fluffy | |
| 3. | Mix the egg and vanilla together, then gradually add to the sugar and butter mixture mixing well between each addition. | |
| 4. | In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt, then add to the mixture a little at a time. | |
| 5. | Stop mixing once the mixture forms a dough, then decide into two, putting half into a separate bowl. | |
| 6. | Knead the white chocolate into one half of the dough. Do the same with the dark chocolate and the other half chocolate | |
| 7. | Form one of the dough pieces into a brick shape between two layers of cling film | |
| 8. |
Using a rolling pin (I also used my hands) to shape the dough into 15x20cm rectangle. Fold the cling film around it and place on a baking tray and then into the fridge for one hour |  |
| 9. | Repeat for the second half of dough. | |
| 10. | Once chilled, carefully peel the cling film of one off each piece and lay the dark piece on top of the white piece, and press together. | |
| 11. |
Using a sharp knife, trim the rectangle into a perfect 15x20cm rectangle. Now, cut this into three 5cm wide strips, and lay each on top of the last. Wrap up your large brick firmly with cling film, then put back in the fridge for 20 minutes. |  |
| 12. | Preheat the oven to 350 F / 180 C / Gas mark 4 | |
| 13. | Cut from one end in 5mm slices. Place a little apart on a lined baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to colour. | |
| 14. | Leave to cool for 5 minutes or they will fall apart, before carefully transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling. |
