THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF
TUESDAY, 8PM, C4 COOKERY
Dame Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood will be using their loaves to separate the wheat from the chaff as Bread Week arrives in C4’s The Great British Bake Off.
But the discerning judges are certainly not looking to sample a sliced white or some crusty rolls – they have some fiendishly tricky dough-related tasks up their sleeves. The remaining bakers are asked to make a special pizza for the Signature, followed by a classic pastry for the Technical, before the Showstopper demands a complex Danish cake made out of bread, known as a Smörgåstårta.
Here, Dame Prue, 82, and Paul, 56, tell us all we ‘knead’ to know…
It’s Bread Week! As the ‘King of Bread’, do you still enjoy baking it at home, Paul?
PAUL I make bread every week for sandwiches and have two chucky eggs with my own bread toasted in the morning! I’m also getting back into making proper sourdough. And I’ve shown Noel [Fielding, who co-hosts the show with Matt Lucas] how to do a ‘no-knead’ bread. It’s the most simple bread, because you just stir the ingredients together – nature does most of the work.
Pizzas are this week’s Signature Challenge. Are you a fan of making those, too?
PAUL I do pizzas nearly every other day! Garlic pizzas with mozzarella and mushroom are one of my favourites. Put Parmesan on your base, then mozzarella and mushrooms on top. When you bring it out, brush it in garlic butter. Delicious.
