The season features twelve amateur bakers, including a baking influencer, a former professional handball player, and an emergency paramedic, all competing for the title of ‘Germany’s Best Amateur Baker 2026’. The series is expected to consist of eight episodes and will be available on the streaming platform Joyn, with a projected finale on September 16, 2026. Updated details indicate the season may consist of nine episodes, with a finale scheduled for September 23, 2026. One of the technical challenges featured in the competition involves the creation of Mochi-Donuts, also known as ‘Pon de Ring’. These donuts are noted for a chewy texture achieved through the use of silken tofu and Shiratamako, a Japanese glutinous rice flour, utilizing baking powder for leavening rather than yeast. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-23: Das große Backen 2026 season details and recipes The 14th season of the German baking show ‘Das große Backen’ premieres July 29, 2026, on Sat.1, featuring twelve contestants and technical challenges like making Mochi-Donuts. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/das-groe-backen-2026-season-details-and-recipes ### 2026-09-16: Sat. 1 announces 2026 season of ‘Das große Backen’ The 14th season of the German baking show ‘Das große Backen’ premieres July 29, 2026, on Sat. 1, featuring twelve amateur bakers competing for the national title. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sat-1-announces-2026-season-of-das-groe-backen-2 ### 2026-08-19: Sat. 1 announces 2026 season of ‘Das große Backen’ The 14th season of the German baking show ‘Das große Backen’ premieres July 29, 2026, on Sat. 1, featuring twelve amateur bakers competing for the national title. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sat-1-announces-2026-season-of-das-groe-backen-1 --- Cite as: German baking competition ‘Das große Backen’ 2026 season.
