Britain’s most beloved and pastel-hued baking show is back once more, with a batch of new Great British Bake Off contestants taking a break from skipping merrily in a park to try and get Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith’s taste buds tingling.
Last episode was bread week, as contestants tried to impress with Chelsea buns, while the technical challenge – non-yeast naan bread – proved a difficult bake to master. The gang then grappled with the devilishly difficult showstopper (korovai, a traditional bread in Eastern Europe that’s mainly associated with weddings).
Rahul was named Star Baker for the second week in a row, with Antony was sadly sent packing.

Welcome to the Great British Bake Off live blog! We will endeavour to keep things as calm and gentle as Noel Fielding's presenting voice.
The show starts at 8pm on Channel 4, so we'll be bringing you some past highlights until then.
This week, our contestants will be indulging their sweet tooth with Dessert Week. The official synopsis reads:
"There is a cracking meringue Signature; a wobbly Technical that breaks the mould; and a complex chocolate Showstopper that promises to reveal all."
Never one to sugarcoat her words, The Great British Bake Off judge has said she 'prefers savoury cooking to baking'
