how do I use an unsweetened chocolate baking bar in a recipe?
Q : I have an unsweetened bar of Sharfenberger baking chocolate. Almost every recipe I have uses cocoa POWDER . Do I just break off an equal amount of baking bar and add the melted chocolate in place of the powder?Clare, if I use the bar then I need to reduce the fat I add by the amont I'd have added if I used cocoa powder? Thanks!
I dont think I can use the bar in place of chips..the bar is UNSWEETENED...like 95% cacao it says on the front..so I gotta use sugar to sweeten it!
A : no. if you need powder, you need powder. with baking, recipes are formulas and you need to consider liquid, fat, leavening and caramelization of all the ingredients. Save the block for when you need chips or melted chocolate and buy some powder for these recipes.
