A hand working dough can show quite a lot: how the dough moves, how it is handled, and what changes as the bake goes along. Those are the details at the heart of Countdown to Christmas: Kitchen Cam, a free series of Roselle Blore’s complete Bake With Me recordings.
The series brings an over-the-shoulder view of sourdough baking into the free FLEX Sourdough community. Country Sourdough and Focaccia Three Ways are among the episodes, with the process and the finished bread both part of the story.
Watch the decisions behind a finished loaf
In Country Sourdough, Roselle notices that she has left out some water. The recording shows her working it into the already-mixed dough and continuing with the bake. The adjustment has context: viewers can see the dough she is working with and what happens next.
That episode follows the rests and folds, fermentation checks, shaping, overnight cold proof, scoring and Dutch oven bake. The cooled loaf is then cut open. It is a chance to follow the sequence and see the inside of the bread as well as its crust.
See the holiday variations take shape
Focaccia Three Ways includes cranberry and white chocolate, blueberry and cream cheese, and bruschetta and Parmesan variations. Watching the toppings go onto the dough and then seeing the finished bread connects the preparation with the result.
Kitchen Cam uses Roselle’s original baking footage. A complete episode can bring together a bake that took more than one day, with the waiting periods edited into the sequence. The episodes are recordings, rather than a promise that Roselle is hosting live throughout the viewing window.
Drop in between 8 p.m. and midnight Eastern
A different Bake With Me recording plays each night and repeats during that evening’s window. People can arrive while it is already playing. The next repeat begins when the episode ends, so its length determines the next start time. There is no fixed hourly restart.
For a quick look at the series, watch the 40-second Kitchen Cam trailer. The full episodes are for members of the free FLEX Sourdough community.
