Episode 13: Meet Real Baker Jesper Damkjær
In this thirteenth episode, chef Kent V. Madsen meets Real Baker Jesper Damkjær, baking teacher at Kold College and coach for the Danish National Bakery team. Damkjær explains that both the dough and the chocolate have different qualities and taste profiles that provide opportunities to experiment and create truly stunning breads. Discover some of Damkjær's new inventions:
- All 4 You
- Twister with melted dark chocolate
- Black and White Baguettes
His tip? "When using sourdough, it is best to give the dough time to fully develop flavour. I recommend that you don’t proof in the traditional way, but rather let your bread dough rise for a minimum of 24-48 hours in the fridge. By doing so you achieve the optimal fermentation and best flavour."

- Porridge buns with chocolate chunks,
- Wienerbasse (a type of Danish pastry) with PralineNocciola or Crema 811 remonce
- Danish Fibre rolls with Nocciola remonce
His tip? "A delicious cream filling for your sweet baked goods? Mix remonce (butter, sugar and marzipan) with Callebaut™ Crema Nocciola, Crema 811 or praline. This cream is great in many different applications. The cream is spreadable but can also be sprayed from a piping bag onto, for example, Viennese whirls and spandauers."

Episode 11: Meet Real Baker Mikkel Hansen
In this eleventh episode, chef Kent V. Madsen visits Real Baker Mikkel Hansen where he discovers how chocolate interacts and enhances the flavour of different flours and breads.

His innovations:
- Chocolate Bread with Dark Chocolate 811 and Popped Rye Kernels
- Gold Fougasse
- Ruby Lady Bun
- Milky Sourdough Loaf
His tip? "Cut a slice in the bread before it goes into the oven. If you cut it correctly, your bread will rise straight up! Cut just before putting it into the oven. Otherwise, the bread will open too much before baking."
