Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (not wet batter). The edges should be set, and the top should have a crackly appearance. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately after removing from the oven.

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. This is crucial for fudgy brownies and easy cutting.
