Welcome to Baked Off! Live, Laugh, Loaves
"Baked Off!" follows the lives of a group of would-be home-bakers based in England and Scotland, who meet up for a regular online baking class under the tutelage of a retired Australian chef in Brisbane, Australia.
Over the course of eight fully scripted (20-30 minutes) episodes, we learn about their lives, work and family relationships, as they are learning how to make sourdough bread.
Each week they strive, fail and strive better, supporting and challenging themselves and each other as their private lives take unexpected twists and turns.
