- October 20, 2020
The Great British Baking Show is back with the highly anticipated fifth episode of season eight, aptly named Pastry Week. The competition heats up as the remaining bakers put forth their skills and creativity to create the perfect pastry dishes.
In this exciting installment, the bakers are challenged with making a classic French pastry dish that is both delicate and delicious: the mille-feuille. Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith are looking for perfect layers of flaky pastry and a smooth, creamy filling. The contestants must also add their own creativity to the dish by adding a unique twist or flavor.
Next, the bakers must tackle the technically challenging pastry dish known as the savarin. This is a sweet yeast cake that is soaked in a rum-based syrup and topped with cream and fruit. The judges are looking for a perfectly baked savarin with just the right amount of moisture and a beautiful presentation.
Finally, the contestants must impress the judges with their showstopping pastry creations. They have free reign to create any pastry dish they choose, but it must be spectacular in both flavor and presentation. Hollywood and Leith are expecting the bakers to push their limits and show off their culinary skills in this final challenge.
As always, the bakers will face plenty of challenges and surprises along the way, from mishaps in the kitchen to unexpected twists in the competition. Viewers will be on the edge of their seats as they watch the contestants strive to create the perfect pastry dishes under pressure and the watchful eye of the judges.
In the end, only one baker will be crowned star baker and another will be sent home, leaving just a few competitors left in the race for the title of The Great British Baking Show champion. With all the tension, drama, and delicious pastry creations, this promises to be an exciting episode that viewers won't want to miss. Tune in to see which bakers rise to the occasion and which ones crumble under the pressure.
