Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and bittersweet chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the batter and gently fold them in until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing.
If using walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut them into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy!
