   Sweet and morning

   Zorzal Comunitario 70% bar

   From Dandelion Chocolate · San Francisco · @dandelionchocolate

   Dandelion makes bean-to-bar chocolate in San Francisco's Mission with just two ingredients, cacao and cane sugar. Each bar comes from one place; Zorzal Comunitario is cacao from the farms around the Reserva Zorzal bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic, and it tastes of chocolate cake and tamarind.

   Two ingredients and you can taste where it grew. Bake it into brownies and they taste like nothing out of a box.

   • 3 bars (about 170 g) Dandelion Zorzal Comunitario 70% chocolate, chopped

   2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a bowl over barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let it cool a few minutes.
   3. Whisk in the sugar, then the eggs and yolk one at a time, then the vanilla and salt, until glossy.
   4. Sift in the flour and cocoa and fold until no streaks remain.
   5. Spread in the pan and bake 25 to 28 minutes, until the top is set and a skewer comes out with moist crumbs.
   6. Sprinkle with flaky salt and cool completely before cutting into 16.
