SEASON 4, EPISODE 3 – BREAD

SATURDAY, JUNE 24 @ 6:00PM

It’s bread week, and Paul Hollywood has put together three of the toughest challenges ever. There’s the signature challenge – a sweet dough with a twist. And with Paul’s digits primed for prodding, no dough is safe from the scrutiny. The bakers face a steamy technical challenge without an oven, as Paul and Mary step out of the tent to leave the bakers with only a basic set of instructions and ingredients to test their baking instincts. For the perfect bake, they have to avoid a burnt bottom and a soggy top. And there’s a mighty final challenge, using three different flours to create a huge showstopper centerpiece. Three challenges, three chances to win star baker, three chances to avoid leaving the tent.
