obsessed with the boys making claire go outside alone in the rain 😭 the tired sibling energy of it all

[smiththewright]

Yes!!! I've been waiting for more "Outdoor Oven" episodes. 🥳

How it is that in every video, Claire just seems like a normal home cook who still panics at the normal times and thanks God when things actually go right? It's like I can forget that she's actually a super professional chef who has been doing this for years and years.
We love you!!!

Not "omg are you the dumbest chicken alive"😭😭

Claire's analytical brain at work has always made for amazing content, but on passion projects is truly unmatched. Thank you for sharing!

[swaytha]

‘Oh it looks so good’ is every Baker’s little prayer coming true. Yay Claire, it does look so good!

[niallduggan]

Cal's questions are always on point, usually he will ask just as I am thinking the same. Referencing " keeping a thriving bacterial culture going.". Thank You.

Loved the camera panning to Harris aggressively loving on the kitty! 😂

[masterofnone]

Okay but why has it been 4 weeks since the last video we need more!!!!

That ballsey (or not very bright) chicken! Because of your incredible tour of Barton Spring Mill, I bought two flours and some cornmeal which I am loving. Thank you for inspiring and educating me, Claire.

Love the new intro! Great transitioning. Also the chicken comment in the beginning 😂

Baking with the outdoor oven looks so fun! You're amazing Claire! 😊

I’ve been making sourdough bread for 4 years now, the learning curve is steep! Mastering it took a solid year. I use spelt wheat berries, that I grind at home. {40% white flour/60% spelt, 83% hydration, 2% salt. Outdoor oven is the next step for me. It’s was great to see your process. Thanks Claire 😁. I would love to see you make sourdough pizza in that awesome oven.

Ever since the first video I've had random moments where I thought "I wonder how Claire's oven is doing...is she baking" I'm glad to see a successful loaf

[TreyMcDonaldAnimator]

That chicken walking around the oven gave me some crazy anxiety NGL. LOL (By the way, Claire... team... maybe a sourdough pizza in the future?)

[yxhwfih]

shoutout to claire’s production team. TV quality content seriously

[samanthabovington]

Claire! I miss your videos 😭 Need my weekly Dessert Person fix!

[AudenimLock]

The intro is so catchty 😅 I’m always “do do do do”.
So excited about another outdoor oven vid. You did such a great job building it!
4:32 Seeing the mill in the background reminded me of early days of “gourmet makes” before the dehydrator took the #1 spot 😆.

[tamaflip]

Claire, I’ve learned so much from your videos, but the bread baking…. THE BREAD BAKING!
So great. So so great, girl.

[kieraconte]

My guess is that the second loaf was rolled on to the expansion cut when you put it in the oven so it wasnt able to get enough oven spring. Fresh sourdough is amazing!!!

Loved this video as always! I hope this summer you go back to the Cape with your parents, those were some of my favorite videos this year! 💛
