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 4, Heart-Shaped Lace Pancakes
It's nearly Pancake Day! Personally, I have pancakes any day of the year, does that make me a rebel? Here's Paul Hollywood's pancake recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/lace_pancakes_20045 The recipe has slightly different quantities to the recipe I usually use (I also usually make them
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
This bake is the final bake from Series 6, which has taken over a year for me to complete. I'll aim for at least 2 series for 2024. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/raspberry_millefeuille_60382 I started off making the rough puff pastry. This was a
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
Series 5, Episode 9, Schichttorte
When I first saw this episode I remember watching the technical challenge and thinking "that looks pretty easy, I could probably do that" and now, 8 years later, we can find out whether my confidence was justified. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/_schichttorte_49934 The cake
Series 5, Episode 8, Povitica
I think this was the most bizarre method of baking I've come across so far and I actually quite enjoyed it. Here's the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/povitica_92623 First of all I made a very sticky dough. I'm glad it was in the stand mixer
