Rise to the Challenge

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges faced by bakers during bread week of the Bake Off competition.

The Chairman of the (bread) Board, Mr Paul Hollywood is on the lookout for the perfect loaves in bread week. The remaining 10 bakers must impress both Paul and Prue as they face a monkey bread signature, a glazed doughnut technical and a sweet celebration showstopper. Join Howard, Jane and Sarah as they discuss bread week; who rose to the occasion and who is toast. The big news once again from Bake With A Legend is that not only are we still having great fun hosting regular  online baking classes every weekend, but this year we are going to be teaching a virtual class of either the signature or the technical challenge EVERY SUNDAY at 5pm UK following the episode.
