The American Baking Competition

In the series premiere, a baking firefighter battles his own fire in the kitchen and a Southern baker introduces judge, Paul Hollywood, to chocolate bacon. Comedian Jeff Foxworthy is the host. Chef and best-selling cookbook author Marcella Valladolid and master baker and current judge on the UK format "The Great British Bakeoff" Paul Hollywood are judges.

Bakers begin to sweat when they need to present their breads to one of the world's premiere bread bakers, Judge Paul Hollywood, and one baker hopes her red-hot candies will fire up the judges.

Brian and Francine go to war over their shared refrigerator, and the bakers must stagger their start and end times during their technical challenge to produce the perfect dessert.

The contestants face a double elimination in a semi-final showdown, and Brian puts aside his competitive nature to help a fellow baker.
