The Great British Bake Off season 4 episode 5 is titled "Biscuits and Traybakes." This episode features the remaining bakers competing in a series of challenges centered around biscuits and traybakes.
First up, the bakers are tasked with creating a showstopping "biscuit tower." Each baker must stack their homemade biscuits into an impressive tower, with different flavors and textures representing each layer. As the judges inspect each tower, tensions run high as some of the bakers struggle to keep their creations from toppling over.
Next, the bakers must create their own version of a classic British biscuit, the "Hobnob." With just two hours on the clock, the bakers must put their own spin on the iconic biscuit, incorporating different flavors and textures to impress the judges.
For the technical challenge, the bakers are asked to prepare a "traybake" – a sweet or savory dish that is baked in a shallow tray and cut into pieces for serving. The judges provide minimal instructions and ingredients, leaving the bakers to rely on their own skills and creativity to create the perfect traybake.
Finally, the bakers are given a chance to show off their freeform baking skills in the "signature bake." Each baker is asked to prepare their own unique creation using biscuits and traybakes – the only limit is their imagination.
As always, the judges – Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry – are on hand to offer their expert opinions and critique the bakers' creations. The episode culminates in the announcement of the "star baker" and the unlucky baker who will be sent home.
"Biscuits and Traybakes" is a high-stakes and exciting episode of The Great British Bake Off, showcasing the bakers' creativity and skill in these two classic British baking categories. Viewers will be on the edge of their seats as the bakers strive to impress the judges and stay in the competition.
