Series 7, Episode 9, Savarin
I moved house recently and this was the first bake that I made using my new oven. Now that we've settled, I'm hoping to get back to baking regularly. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/savarin_with_chantilly_30509 The recipe said to beat the mixture with a wooden
Series 7, Episode 8, Jumbles
I made these a couple of months ago and forgot nearly everything about them. Let's see how I get on. Here's the recipe https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/jumble_biscuits_20028 I couldn't find all of the spices needed for this so needed to do some substitutions. Instead of caraway
Series 7, Episode 6, Fresh Herb Fougasse
When this episode was first on TV, I decided that I wanted to make fougasse, so I did. This was the third time I've made this recipe but there was a long time between two and three. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/fresh_herb_fougasse_70351 For

Series 7, Episode 3, Dampfnudel
This is another one of those bakes where I have no idea what it's supposed to look or taste like, so I have no idea how well I did. Maybe you can judge me. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/dampfnudel_36590 The dough for this was
Series 6, Episode 10, Raspberry millefeuille

Series 6, Episode 6, Flaounes
I didn't really understand what these were before making them, even after doing a little bit of Googling. Here's the recipe I used: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/pauls_flaounas_89782 There were a few challenges with the ingredients here. I couldn't find the pecorino romano cheese so I
Series 6, Episode 5, Gluten-free pitta bread
I always thought it was "pita" bread, but apparently the British English is "pitta". This is also how the BBC spells it here https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/gluten-free_pitta_bread_09625 I think either way is fine though. This was alternative ingredient week on the bake off so the
Series 6, Episode 3, Baguettes
Before making these baguettes I thought I was going to have another ciabatta disaster like series 5 bread week, so was very careful with reading this recipe (mostly). Here it is https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/paul_hollywoods_55351 The first step was easy because there was no kneading
Series 6, Episode 2, Arlettes
I was feeling greedy when planning to make arlettes so decided these ones would just be for Chris and me. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/arlettes_17164 The ingredients are pretty basic for this recipe, so no need to go hunting for obscure ingredients like
