So after the shock departure last week of not one but two bakers, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
there is literally everything to play for, but how many will go this week? | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
I don't know, it could be three or five, or it could even be the final. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
Who knows? When Paul and Mary get trigger-happy anyone's fair game. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
I'm going to leave before they fire me, it's the Great British Bake Off. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
-'Last time...' -Where's my custard? | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
-'..desserts proved to be the undoing..' -Oh, no! -'..of Mark...' | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
They're not very ball-like. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
That's a bit knitty. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
'..and Deborah...' | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
Can't do this. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
-'..who both had to leave.' -I'll miss you, matey. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
'But Christine had her best week yet...' | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
Gosh, that's scrummy. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
'..and her stunning desserts won her Star Baker.' | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
'Now the bakers face pies and tarts...' | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
If my bottom's dry today...all will be right with the world. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
Looks all right. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
'..a Signature Challenge...' | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
Shall I put my water wings on? | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
'..throws them in at the deep end...' | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
I think that brown stuff is burn. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
I think I might be in trouble with this one. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
'..a Technical from Paul that would make most people fall apart...' | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
Desperate times, desperate measures. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
'..a Showstopper that stretches them to their absolute limits...' | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
That is one large sort of filo snake you need to wrangle. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
-This is "Pie-thagoras", this pie. -Pie-thagoras! | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Right, what do we need to do? | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
'..and a little unwanted help from their friends.' | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Hang on, hang on. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
It's not good, is it? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
I can't watch this. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
TOGETHER: # Who ate all the pies? Who ate all the pies? | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
# Mel and Sue did, Mel and Sue did We ate all the pies. # | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
It's pies and tarts week. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
I think I'll get me steak and kidney. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Morning, bakers, and welcome to... it's a Life Of Pie, isn't it? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
We're going to be asking you not to sit on a boat and look after a tiger. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
Oh, that's a shame! Can you lose the tiger? | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Lose the tiger. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
But what we would like you to do, though, please, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
is a Signature Bake which is a double-crusted fruit pie, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
which means pastry not just on the top but on the bottom as well, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
and not soggy. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Right, so the pastry can be a sweet or shortcrust, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
you can fill it with whatever fruit you like | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
but when it's cut in two, the pastry must hold its shape. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
-You've got two hours, on your marks... -Get set... -..bake! | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
They walk into it, thinking, "It's only pies. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
"I can knock a couple of pies up no problem." | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
But you've got to make a pie that's perfect. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
If you do not know how to make a sweet pastry and shortcrust | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
pastry, you shouldn't be in that tent. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
There's so much that can go wrong. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
If fruit is overcooked in a pie, it releases too much wet. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
That goes down to the pastry underneath and makes it soggy. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
The terror of a soggy bottom has been keeping me up all night. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
If my bottom is dry today...all will be right with the world. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
Kimberley's fruit pie is a firm favourite of her boyfriend Giuseppe. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:30 | |
Topped with rosemary caramel, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
her pecan filling will be surrounded by rosemary pastry. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
The addition of the rosemary is interesting, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
-it's all about the delicacy with rosemary. -I can smell it here. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
That's been steeping for a couple of months. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
-I think it will go well. -Thank you. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
It smells really delicious. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
I'm making a shortcrust pastry with some orange zest | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
in it for added flavour. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
I just want to get the pastry made | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
so it can have a chance of resting, it's so tight on times. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
This is the covering for my butter and I just found it in my blender. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:10 | |
I'm sure clingfilm's edible(!) | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
Ali loves to use ingredients from around the world, | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
but he's never made a simple English fruit pie. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
He's making pecan and walnut shortcrust pastry, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
with an apple and ginger filling. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
I'm using Granny Smiths because they still retain a bit of bite | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
but I'm not actually a big fan of fruit pie, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
in fact, I loathe fruit pie so I've been trying... | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
So you've never tasted things you've made? When you've made a fruit pie, you can't eat it? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
I find it disgusting. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
-We're going to enjoy it. -I hope Granny Smith doesn't have a damp bottom. -Thank you. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
When I pulsed my fat into the flour, I got great lumps of butter in it, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
which I don't want for shortcrust, hence I'm starting again. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
The recipe for Christine's pie belonged to her grandmother, | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
and she bakes it weekly. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Her Granny Rogers' apple, plum | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
and cinnamon country pie is also flavoured with allspice and nutmeg. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
I would like to get everything consistent across the board | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
on this pie. I want the pastry to be even, I want it to be the right thickness, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
I want the fruit just to be done, I want everything to be right. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
I think I will be OK time-wise, I've just got to work a bit faster. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:18 | |
In the food processor at the moment I've got plain flour | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
but I've also added some polenta. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
It gives it slightly a grainier more biscuity texture, | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
but it also absorbs some of the moisture which you're going to | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
get from putting fresh herbs in it. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
Howard regularly brings his bakes into work, where they're | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
enjoyed by his colleagues at Sheffield City Council. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
The apples in his pie are accompanied by sultanas, | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
and pistachios, and surrounded by sage pastry. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
The pastry does look a little bit crumbly but I'm going to pop | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
it in the fridge to rest while I'm making the filling. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
That smells so good. Mm, sweet buttery apple-ness, yum! | 0:05:57 | 0:06:02 | |
Judging by the smell, there's not enough ginger in there. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:07 | |
I'm not going to taste it because I don't want to. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
Today, I'm making my mamgu's cherry apple tart. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
It's just something that my mum's mum came up with | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
when my brother and I refused to eat rhubarb pie. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
So she called it "cherry-apple tart" and we lapped it up. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Beca blows off steam outside the kitchen by running three | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
times a week. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
Her mamgu's cherry-apple pie is ensconced in a pastry | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
flavoured with orange zest. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:33 | |
The rhubarb is just finishing off roasting | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
so I've had a bit of a disaster this week making some of them. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
My grandmothers would never bake their rhubarb first, | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
they'd always put it in raw. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
Did they have soggy bottoms? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
Yeah, but it never did bother us. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
But my nan told me | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
to put some semolina in the bottom which has worked. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
Might need to have some waterproofs on just in case. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
I'll bring my scuba. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:55 | |
Rhubarb splash-back. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
I really like marzipan | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
so I've desperately wanted to put it in something. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
I thought apple marzipan would be all right. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
I was really unhappy with it for a while and then one day | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
it occurred to me, the sour cherries, | 0:07:06 | 0:07:07 | |
and that really lifts it, I think. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
So I'm chuffed with that. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:10 | |
Ruby juggles revising for her exams with devising new | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
ways of blending flavours in her bakes. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
She's settled on an apple and marzipan pie, | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
with dried sour cherries. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
This is just a little bit of sugar and cornflour, it helps to | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
soak up some of the liquid they'll release when they cook. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
So the pie crust hopefully won't be too soggy. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
My fruit pie is like a mixture of peach and frangipane. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
I remove, obviously, the stone | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
and then I fill that with a bit of frangipane | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
and then I place in a whole almond, to sort of replicate the stone. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:47 | |
Frances' parents ran a book shop so she grew up influenced by stories. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
And a classic children's tale was the inspiration for this bake, | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
a peach pie in the sky. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
I was inspired by James And The Giant Peach. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
So you'll get a slice of peach when you get through the pie | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
and then it's going to be shaped like a hot-air balloon. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
You could have made an effort(!) | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
You've totally lost me now. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
Sounds like it needs planning permission, this pie. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-Good luck with that one. -Thank you very much. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
I look forward to seeing the balloon. I've no idea. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
The key challenge with pies is ensuring that the pastry is | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
baked through. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
Each baker has their own way of avoiding a soggy crust. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
Some more technical than others. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
To try and avoid a soggy bottom, you've got to get as much | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
heat into it as you can. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
My plan is to not use a base but place that like that and then | 0:08:36 | 0:08:43 | |
I'll slide the whole lot onto a baking tray which is already heating | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
up in the oven, and hopefully that'll be hot enough to do the job. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
Bread is Rob's true baking passion, | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
so pastry presents more of a challenge. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
His Signature Pie is filled with apple, pears, thyme and star anise. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
These time-compressed challenges, | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
you've got to think of other ways of doing things. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
Moisture is the big problem for these pies. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
I've counteracted the liquid that comes | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
out of the apples by putting some semolina in the bottom, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
I've also mixed some cornflour and some icing sugar as well. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
This is frangipane, but it's a slightly thicker one. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
It's got more flour than normal, and it helps soak up | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
any of the juices that will come out of the peach itself. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
I found a recipe for sour cream and maple syrup custard. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
Maple syrup adds a lot to the flavour, and to the moisture which, | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
you know, as we all know, moisture is the enemy of everything today. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
Glenn's been looking for inspiration for his pie in various places | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
and his friends have been keen to help...ooh, and Molly too. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:01 | |
He's making a sweet crust pastry to hold his apple | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
and maple syrup custard filling. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
So the custard baked in it. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
-Like a quiche? -A sweet quiche. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
It could be really absolutely lovely. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
You say "could". | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
There's all sorts of things that could go wrong. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
Exactly, you're dealing with apples that are going to release | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
the juice, and you have maple syrup which tends to thin out | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
in an oven anyway, plus you have the custard going in on top of that. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-Good luck. -If it goes wrong, apple scramble, all good. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
'With the pastry cases and fillings made, the pies must be covered | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
'and decorated quickly to allow enough time in the oven.' | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
It should go down to the wire which is pretty much practice with me. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
Oh, I've got a bit of crackage going on there. Cracking. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
We're going for the Vermont, New England feel...that looks vile. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
That's a nasty pink colour. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
Oh, my God, the problem goes from one extreme to the other | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
but I think that's nearer where I need to be. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
It needs to be in the oven ideally ten minutes ago. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
Get a move on, Ali. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
The monster's in. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Right. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:33 | |
OK, bakers, in 30 minutes' time, your bakes have a date | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
with my pie hole. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:44 | |
30 minutes. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
"Gas Mark 4 for 35-40 minutes." | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
I think I know someone who's going to have a soggy bottom. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
I'm bending down to have a look, | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
because I'm waiting for my pie to cook. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
It looks very nice on top | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
and I'm hoping that that's replicated underneath. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
Bakers, ten minutes left on the pies. Ten minutes left. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
I'm going up. I'm going up to 200. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
Going for blast furnace heat now. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
Now you are on circa therm intensive 230 degrees. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
This is basically becoming thermo-nuclear. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
Is that burning a bit? | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
I think it might be. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
I think that brown stuff is burn. Ooh, is that some leak? | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |
I think it's just fat. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
I think I should take it out. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
Go with your instinct. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
I have no instinct on fruit pies. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
That bit might be soggy. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
You know what? It is what it is now. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
It looks all right. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
No, I'm going to leave it till the last second. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
One minute, just one minute to go. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Not completely happy with that. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
-Oh, look, this is a little basket! -And they're the ropes. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
Leave it. Leave it, leave it, leave it. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
OK, bakers, that's it, time's up. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
Please put your pies at the end of your benches. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
Step away from the pie. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
I'm dying to see what the cut is going to be like. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
Ooh, it is soggy down there. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Can't taste the custard. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:06 | |
All it's adding is a little bit of moisture. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
The apples are perfectly cooked but, to be honest, | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
the pastry could have done with another ten minutes. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
Didn't get it in early enough. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:14 | |
You had plenty of time to practise and you knew how long it was going to be, you shouldn't have picked it. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
That's teacher, isn't it? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
I say things like that all the time, I have to take it. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
I can't see how you can get that custard perfect | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
and get the pastry cooked as well. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
It's just not quite right. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
It just looks so inviting, it's a beautiful colour. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
That is, quite frankly, delicious. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
And one of the nicest pies I've had for some years. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
The pastry is crispy, it's golden, the apples are fantastic, | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
the nuts come through very well | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
and what stays on your tongue afterwards is that beautiful caramel flavour that coats your tongue. | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
It is sort of toffee apple pie. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
Well done. I'll take this one with me, I think. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
The artwork that you've done is stunning. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
I would have liked more peaches in there, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
there's a high proportion of frangipane. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
You're miles away from the flavour points. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
That does not taste of anything, you get the odd peach, sourness, | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
no sweetness. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
It's very, very bland and dry. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
I love your style but please remember the substance. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
OK. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:36 | |
Good colour underneath. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
That rhubarb has lost a lot of its colour, hasn't it? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
I would have cooked that for less time and we've ended up with | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
two thick layers of pastry and a very thin layer of rhubarb. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
Holding quite well. Let's have a look at the bottom. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
That is a beautifully baked underneath. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-The pastry taste is good. I think it's a nice pie. -OK, thanks. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
I like that. I do, that's a real sort of family fruit pie. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:25 | |
-The flavour's lovely. -Thanks, Ruby. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
Looks pretty crumbly, the pastry. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
OK, that's an issue for me. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
You can have it crumbly, yes, but not that crumbly, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
you need to bind it together more. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
I always go on about over-working, but you under-worked that one. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
Such a nice idea to put sage in the pastry | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
but I really couldn't taste the sage. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
OK, thank you. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
A lot of liquid in there. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
Shall I put my water wings on? | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
If you're going to have that amount of juice, somehow or other | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
it's got to be thickened or it would make the pastry wet underneath. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
I did put a little cornflour in. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:16 | |
-A little? -Yes, but I didn't think it was enough. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
Might have needed a bit more. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
One of my pet hates in a pie is a soggy bottom, | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
you've managed to get a soggy top. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
Bit of midwifery required here, there we go. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
The pastry is not cooked, particularly in the middle. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
Never got ginger in that mouthful... | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
or the next one. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
-I think the fruit's cooked perfectly but as an apple. -It's an apple pie. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
But you need to try your food. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
If you don't try your food, you do not know what that's going to taste like. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
Thank you. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:58 | |
That was bad, it was really bad. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
I always knew my fruit pie was going to be terrible | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
because I think fruit pies are terrible. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
It had a soggy bottom, the pastry on the top wasn't cooked, double boo. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
It feels great when they say they like the flavours. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
Apart from getting a decent bake, you want them | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
to have something that tastes delicious. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
It went wrong from the very beginning | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
and from then on I was onto a losing streak, really. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
Perhaps I should have just kept going rather than starting again. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
Excuse me, so stupid, I don't do things like this normally! | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
SHE SNIFFS | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
It just gets to you. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
With confidence knocked, some of the bakers are desperate to prove | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
themselves in the next challenge. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:44 | |
Unfortunately for them, it's the Technical. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
Bakers, good afternoon. And welcome to the Technical Challenge. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
I think you can see there's a little smile hovering around Paul's lips. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
Yes, it is one of his recipes. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
Now, as ever, Mary and Paul are not allowed to know who has baked what, | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
-so, with the greatest respect... -Goodbye. -..jog on. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
-Thank you. -Good luck. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
Anyway, now they've gone, let's shut the tent doors and have a rave. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
OK, now, the Technical Challenge. This week...custard tarts. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:24 | |
12 individual custard tarts | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
and what we're looking for is golden pastry-crimped cups with a fantastic | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
layer of even, smooth custard, with just a little bit of wobble in it. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:36 | |
-You've got two hours. -On your marks... -Get set... -..bake! | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
The egg custard tart. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
Love custard tarts, love some custard tarts. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
Never thought to make one, though. Perhaps I should have. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
A British classic and elegant in its simplicity. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
I have made them before, it's not the easiest thing to make. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
Formed of an outer sweet pastry crust, | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
it's filled with egg custard, dusted with nutmeg, and baked. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
This could go wrong in so many ways. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
They look absolutely wonderful. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
Beautifully formed, it's solid, the pastry is baked. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
You can see it's got a beautiful colour all the way around, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-no soggy bottoms there. -Beautifully brown across the base. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:27 | |
When you look at the custard, you can see it's level, | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
it's got a slight wobble to it, but if I cut this open...look at that. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:37 | |
The custard is perfectly cooked, it's creamy and it's smooth. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
Baked well, there is nothing better than a good custard tart. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:46 | |
Right, flour, almonds, 120 grams of chilled butter. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:54 | |
Just incorporating the butter into the mixture, | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
and when I get breadcrumb texture, I'll add in the egg. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
The dough should be worked more than a regular sweet crust | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
to create a pastry that's robust... | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
We don't want the custard all seeping through. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
..without becoming chewy. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
It's a happy medium between both, I think. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
While the pastry rests, the bakers ponder the next step. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
"Make the custard filling." Helpful(!) | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
Just deciding whether I should cook the custard or not. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:29 | |
So I'm just heating my custard through, | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
just for it to thicken slightly. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
I think it's not that type of tart, I think | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
to get it to set right, it needs to go in raw and bake in the oven. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
Looking round, some people haven't necessarily heated theirs, | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
and I'm doing that whole comparing. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
This is what happens, you start doubting everything and stuff. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:54 | |
Do you feel safe doing the Technical? Is it quite nice? | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
-No. -HE LAUGHS | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
I feel a bag of nerves. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:02 | |
Dreaming Bake Off dreams? | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
I think they're all doing that. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:06 | |
-Have you dreamt about Paul and Mary in the dreams? -Not yet, it's going to happen. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
Who would you rather dream about, Paul or Mary? | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
-That would be telling, wouldn't it? -Oh, hello. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
'60 minutes to go.' | 0:23:17 | 0:23:18 | |
Time is already against us. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Howard's rolling, does that mean I should be rolling? | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
It's going to be quite thin, because you need 12 that size, | 0:23:35 | 0:23:40 | |
because that's the size that fits into the tin. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
The pastry should reach the top of the mould. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
Looking around the room, everybody else managed to | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
get their pastry up the sides, I was the only one who didn't so I thought, | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
"I'll build up the sides." Providing they come out, I'll live with it. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
The custard should be filled to the top of the pastry. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
Obviously I don't want to overfill them but I don't want a huge | 0:24:10 | 0:24:15 | |
rim of pastry around the outside with no custard. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
Doing this in the oven CAN help prevent spilling. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
It says on the recipe, "Nutmeg to taste." | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
The problem is it's not my taste I'm trying to satisfy. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
Oh, stop it, Glenn! Pouring like a buffoon. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
To increase the chances of an even batch, | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
both trays should be baked on the same shelf. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
OK. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
HE GROANS | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
The egg custard tart may seem like the humblest of old friends, | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
but, in fact, its origins are way more illustrious. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
It first found favour in the courts of Richard II | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
as a decadent treat, his recipe recorded for posterity | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
by royal chefs for Britain's oldest cookery book. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
England's oldest known cook book, | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
written by the chief master cooks of King Richard II, | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
the Forme of Cury is one of the best-known records of medieval cooking. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
To translate the Middle English title, | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
"forme" means method and "cury" means cooking. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
The manuscript is exactly as it came to the library, | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
so you can see that the original binding has been preserved. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
It's quite greasy, you can imagine it being actually used in a kitchen. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
It dates from the 1390s and was commissioned by the master | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
chefs of King Richard II, so it's a royal cookery book. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
And it contains 194 recipes, which range from porridge and stew. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:44 | |
There are also lots of dessert dishes, | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
so we're seeing the introduction of sugar, for example, which was | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
extremely expensive at the time, and it's a way of demonstrating | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
the luxury that the household could afford. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
Richard II's kitchen had over 300 staff making hundreds of recipes, | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
many of which are immortalised in the Forme of Cury, ranging | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
from cooking porpoise to the more recognisable sweet custard tarts. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
There's an interesting group of desserts that | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
develop in the Forme of Cury. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
And these are the English sweet custards, | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
so you have doucettes, you have flattons and you have darioles. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
The dariole is very similar to the modern English custard tart. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
Cow's milk did not keep for long in medieval kitchens, | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
so almond milk was often used as a substitute. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
This was mixed with eggs, sugar, and saffron, | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
which at the time was valued as highly as gold. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
These were very rich desserts, and, of course, suited Richard | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
because it was the sort of decadence he wanted to show, | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
that richness of desserts and richness of food which he | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
wanted to display in the English court at the time. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
But such excess cost a fortune and he taxed his subjects to | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
pay for it, thus losing the support of Parliament. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
In 1399, his cousin challenged the throne and Richard was | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
incarcerated and starved to death at just 33 years old. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
Perhaps his greatest legacy was the nation's oldest cook book. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
Back in the tent, the bakers are hoping for a happier ending. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:12 | |
The oven must be hot enough to bake the pastry, | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
but not so hot that it boils the custard. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
I can see Howard looking into his oven, Christine behind me | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
looking into her oven. If you look up, you'll see no-one | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
because everyone's on their knees looking at the oven. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
I'm going to have a look. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
Oh, it's a completely different story on the top than on the bottom. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
They are not browning at the same rate. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
It's just a question of when do I pull them? | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
Because I'll need some time for them to cool or I won't get them out. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
Bakers, you've got 15 minutes with the tarts. 15 minutes. | 0:27:56 | 0:28:01 | |
Normally you need about an hour for it to cool before you take it out. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:06 | |
Oh, God. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:07 | |
Think I might be in trouble with this one. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
I think they'll have to come out. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:17 | |
They're even. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
The pastry's too soft. Oh, God! | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
Oh, you are ugly cousins of those bad boys. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:40 | |
I'm putting mine in the freezer | 0:28:41 | 0:28:43 | |
How on earth do you get these out? | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
I have not got a clue. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
Don't look at procedure. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
Oh, dear, it's definitely not my weekend. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:12 | |
This pastry is just completely not done. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
Two minutes, bakers, two minutes. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
Desperate times, desperate measures. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
SHE SIGHS | 0:29:36 | 0:29:37 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
(Oh, Jesus!) | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
I don't have time for this. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
(Sugar.) | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
No. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
Oh, my giddy aunt! | 0:30:25 | 0:30:29 | |
Oh, no, look at that. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:33 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:30:41 | 0:30:42 | |
Oh! | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
Bakers, your time's up. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:50 | |
That's it. Please step away from the tarts, thank you. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
OK. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:22 | |
What we're looking for is 12 perfectly formed custard tarts, | 0:31:22 | 0:31:27 | |
that's 12 custard tarts. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:30 | |
Shall we start from this side, Mary? | 0:31:32 | 0:31:34 | |
Yes. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
Pastry looks a nice colour. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:37 | |
Pastry looks OK. And it looks as though it's set as well. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
-It's a good bake, that one. -It's a good custard tart, isn't it? | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
It's a nice custard tart, that. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
And we'll move onto the next one. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:46 | |
They've got a nice bake underneath, Paul. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:51 | |
It's a good custard | 0:31:51 | 0:31:52 | |
but because they're a bit shallower, you don't get quite enough | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
custard for the amount of pastry. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:57 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
I bet they were quite difficult to get out of the cases. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:03 | |
Bit soggy at the bottom. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
Tastes OK. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:07 | |
It's far too shallow. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:11 | |
They are baked and have got a good colour round. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
Nice short pastry. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
It's baked but this has been rushed. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
The pastry's just so weak, let's have a look. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:27 | |
It's not long enough in the oven and it's not set. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:31 | |
Oh, dear. Raw pastry. Where are the other six? | 0:32:31 | 0:32:36 | |
Again, not long enough in the oven. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
The pastry's totally undercooked underneath, isn't it? | 0:32:40 | 0:32:43 | |
Custard's good. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
Move on to the next one. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:49 | |
Again, we're missing half of them. Have we got one that's any good? | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
I'm not even going to attempt that one, that's got major issues. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
Major issues. Right, next one. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:59 | |
They're shallow, they're under-baked, custard's just about set. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:03 | |
They're neat and they match. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
Yes. Finally, the last one. Just done but they're so shallow. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:11 | |
It's quite raw again, isn't it? | 0:33:11 | 0:33:14 | |
It's decision time, | 0:33:15 | 0:33:17 | |
and Paul and Mary will name the bakers in reverse order. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
Right, in ninth place is this one. Whose is this? Glenn. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:26 | |
It's underbaked. You've knackered them all bringing them | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
out of the cases. The custard was scrambled egg as well. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:33 | |
And this is number eight, who is that? | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
You haven't got the right number, the pastry wasn't quite done, | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
not quite set. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:42 | |
And in seventh position it's this. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:46 | |
The custard's fallen down the side | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
and obviously, the walls of the cases have all collapsed as well. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
Ruby, Howard and Kimberley have not done enough to | 0:33:51 | 0:33:55 | |
place in the top three. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:57 | |
Number three is this one. | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
They're getting better, you've got a good height there. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:01 | |
And number two is right here. Who's that? | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
They were a little bit small, they were very delicious. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:07 | |
So that leaves number one. Who's this? | 0:34:07 | 0:34:11 | |
MEL AND SUE: Well done, Frances. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
They tasted good, the consistency of the custard was good | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
and the decoration on the top was good as well. Well done. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:22 | |
I feel a lot better than I did a couple of hours ago. I hope the | 0:34:24 | 0:34:28 | |
whole style over substance thing I can be putting a little bit to rest. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:32 | |
I felt I would be OK this week and so far I haven't disappointed | 0:34:32 | 0:34:36 | |
myself, so hopefully tomorrow will be on the same sort of level. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
Pretty much everything that could have gone wrong went wrong, | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
I'm gutted. Gutted. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
I can categorically say I won't be Star Baker this week. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
Be lucky if I stay, at this rate. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:54 | |
It could not have gone worse today. The pressure's on for tomorrow. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:58 | |
Whatever I present to Paul | 0:34:58 | 0:34:59 | |
and Mary, I'm going to make sure it's the best that I am, as a baker. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:03 | |
A brand-new day in the Bake Off tent. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:16 | |
And a last chance to impress the judges. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:20 | |
Morning, bakers. Great to see you all here. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
Now, some words to think about for this morning. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:30 | |
Big, impressive, Showstopper. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:34 | |
It's got to be, please, a filo pastry pie. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:38 | |
You can use any inspiration from the classics, | 0:35:38 | 0:35:40 | |
like a Greek spanakopita, or a Moroccan pastilla, apparently, | 0:35:40 | 0:35:47 | |
or go mad, invent your own. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:49 | |
Break those pie boundaries. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:52 | |
Although a spanakopita will be hard today, | 0:35:52 | 0:35:54 | |
-because we don't have any spanners in the tent. -Except for me. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
The most important thing is that the pastry is made from scratch. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:59 | |
It can be freeform or it could be in a tin, shape it how you want. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:02 | |
You've got four hours to complete this challenge. On your marks... | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
-Get set... -Bake! | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
Notoriously difficult to work with, | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |
filo pastry is the nemesis of many bakers. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
The stress is a whole new level. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
But I'd take the stress any day to stay another week. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:23 | |
A basic filo dough combines water, a little fat and high-gluten flour. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:28 | |
I've got 00 pasta flour because of the elasticity, and I'm | 0:36:28 | 0:36:34 | |
adding a little bit of vinegar and olive oil to that with the water. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:38 | |
The acid tenderises the strong glutens that have built up | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
to create the stretch needed for huge wafer-thin sheets of dough. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:46 | |
This is the alchemy of baking. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:49 | |
Filo pastry, it's a great test. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:51 | |
Very, very tricky to do. You've got to work at it, you've got to work | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
at it, you've got to build it up, stretch it, it's like a membrane. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:58 | |
You've got to open it up, see the gluten strands in it, | 0:36:58 | 0:37:01 | |
throw it over a newspaper and see if you can read it. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:03 | |
Not only have they got to make good pastry, they've got to be creative. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:07 | |
This is the Showstopper, it's got to be big. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:11 | |
We've got to look at it | 0:37:11 | 0:37:12 | |
and think that they have created something special. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:15 | |
My pie is going to be a fresh fig and feta filo flan, which is | 0:37:17 | 0:37:23 | |
a bit of a mouthful. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:24 | |
Howard's tongue-twisting bake is made up of lots of small | 0:37:24 | 0:37:28 | |
sheets of pastry baked in a decorative mould. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:30 | |
-Can I see it? -Yes, of course. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
Oh, nice. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
So will it be hard to get it out of there? | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
It's a devil to get out, it's terrible to get out. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
Good luck, Howard. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:41 | |
-Yes, nice. -Thank you. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
I'm going to surpass anything I've ever done before today. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:47 | |
That's my plan. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
To do that, Christine's making a feta and roasted vegetable | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
filo pie, inspired by a Mediterranean family picnic. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:56 | |
I've made it seven times, most of that in one week, | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
just to try and get it right, and I'm hoping that will pay off today. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:05 | |
The first big hurdle is the kneading. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:09 | |
To build up the vast network of gluten vital to a dough | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
that'll be stretched and rolled so thinly... | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
Ah, it's nearly ready. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:19 | |
..elbow grease is required. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
See this is the way to do it. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:29 | |
All that hard work Ruby's doing - I'm having a cup of tea. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:37 | |
I entertained the idea of doing a savoury one but I never cook. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:43 | |
Basically, I can't cook. I can bake but I can't cook. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:47 | |
So that's why I've steered clear of savoury. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:50 | |
Instead, Ruby's making a sweet rose-shaped pie filled with almond | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
and zesty orange flavours from three large sheets of filo. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:57 | |
So how are you going to get that so thin | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
so you can read a newspaper through it? | 0:38:59 | 0:39:02 | |
Rolling it out, I've got a floured cloth, | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
and I've been stretching it over my arms, pulling it bit by bit | 0:39:04 | 0:39:06 | |
and letting its own weight do a bit of the work as well. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
Have you had space in your student room to do that, Ruby? | 0:39:09 | 0:39:11 | |
-Everything's covered in flour. -Show us your technique, Ruby, then. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:15 | |
I'm scared I'll end up hitting one of you. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:17 | |
That's all right. Do it front of Mary, it's fine. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
She's got a good slap, Mary, hasn't she? | 0:39:19 | 0:39:22 | |
Go on, you have a go, Mary. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
You are rotten. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:25 | |
Give it a good slapping, Mary, go on. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
There is steel in those arms. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
Blue steel. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:34 | |
As some of the bakers rest their dough... | 0:39:34 | 0:39:36 | |
I just find a shower cap quite handy, | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
just gives it a nice seal, really. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:40 | |
..Rob's using his expert knowledge on his star ingredient. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
I joined a local mushroom club. I do like to forage, it is a | 0:39:43 | 0:39:48 | |
very unforgiving pastime. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:50 | |
You get it wrong and you can pay the hell of a price. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
The opportunity to kill yourself is quite good. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:55 | |
Some mushrooms, you eat them and there is no cure, you just dissolve. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:59 | |
It's not very nice. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
To avoid the dangers of forage mushrooms, he's using | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
shop-bought ones in his spanakopita. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:06 | |
He also has a mathematical approach to his filo. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:08 | |
-This is "Pie-thagoras", this pie. -Pie-thagoras! | 0:40:08 | 0:40:11 | |
It'll be made up of either a number of triangles or some rectangles, | 0:40:11 | 0:40:15 | |
I haven't decided yet. It depends how it folds. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:18 | |
So it's a plethora of Pie-thagoras pies. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:20 | |
Well, good luck, mate. Looking forward to this one. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
I hope not to disappoint. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:24 | |
Baking's not food on a table. Baking's a bit of love - | 0:40:24 | 0:40:28 | |
that's why we do it. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:30 | |
A lover of Greek food, Glenn is also making spanakopita | 0:40:30 | 0:40:33 | |
out of just one enormous filo sheet. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
He's decided to add walnuts to his spinach and feta filling. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:40 | |
If I do this pie as well as I have done it at home, | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
I've got nothing to worry about. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:45 | |
If it goes pear-shaped I could be on my way home, but I'm not going | 0:40:45 | 0:40:49 | |
to dwell on that, I'm going to go to my happy place and get on with it. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:52 | |
I'm just making a mix of cream cheese, ricotta, | 0:40:52 | 0:40:56 | |
orange blossom honey, orange and lemon zest, | 0:40:56 | 0:41:00 | |
and it will be studded with my morello cherries. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:02 | |
Frances is making a baklava crafted into a cherry tree, | 0:41:02 | 0:41:06 | |
with pistachio cigarillos for branches. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:09 | |
Of course, she is. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:10 | |
I know that there'll be a design factor here, | 0:41:10 | 0:41:13 | |
but I hope you've got really good flavours this time. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:16 | |
Yes, within the filo layers, there's going to be a pistachio | 0:41:16 | 0:41:19 | |
baklava layer, and within that centre core, I'm making a ricotta | 0:41:19 | 0:41:24 | |
and cream cheese, and orange blossom with orange zest. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:28 | |
Frances, are there going to be squirrels | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
and birds nesting in the tree? | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
A tree house? | 0:41:32 | 0:41:33 | |
There's no squirrels, no. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:34 | |
I think on your head be it, it's quite complicated. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:37 | |
It sounds really complicated. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:39 | |
I hope it comes out, good luck. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:40 | |
Can't wait to taste it. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
Ali, Beca and Kimberley are inspired by North African flavours. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:49 | |
I'm using Ras el hanout spice, which is a North African spice blend. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:53 | |
The chicken and bacon go quite nicely together, | 0:41:53 | 0:41:55 | |
just kind of things I like to eat all in one pie. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:59 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:41:59 | 0:42:00 | |
Kimberley has added turmeric to her filo, and has packed her | 0:42:00 | 0:42:03 | |
chicken, bacon and butternut squash pie full of tastes and textures. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:07 | |
I'm doing a garnish for the top which is going to be pork and | 0:42:07 | 0:42:11 | |
chicken crackling mixed with some smoked garlic and fresh coriander. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:16 | |
Is this the crackling here? | 0:42:16 | 0:42:17 | |
Yeah. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
I can see that you're really excited about doing this, aren't you? | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
You can't wait to get going. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
I really like this pie, I think it's really tasty. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
Beca's use of familiar vegetables is spiced up with a hint of Morocco. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:32 | |
My husband proposed to me when we were in Morocco, you see, | 0:42:32 | 0:42:35 | |
and we had this amazing meal in Marrakech, I just love the colours. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:40 | |
I love Moroccan cuisine, I love Moroccan flavours, | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
they're really bright, they wake you up and wake your senses. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:47 | |
A cup of tea, a slice of this, it's awesome. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |
Ali is making an orange, cardamom and date m'hanncha, | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
translated as a "snake cake". | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
And are you going to roll it out to what length? | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
About two metres when I practised at home. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:02 | |
Two metres?! Longer than this bench! | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
Yeah. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:06 | |
Good luck. Nice flavours, classic flavours, but I like the idea. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:10 | |
The ancient Greek word "filo" means "leaf", | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
which means it has to be rolled pretty thinly. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:17 | |
The more transparent the pastry, the finer | 0:43:17 | 0:43:19 | |
and flakier the crust will become. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:21 | |
I'm not great, actually, I must admit. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
A big sheet, the filo, | 0:43:24 | 0:43:25 | |
so I'm working with kind of more manageable sizes. It takes me | 0:43:25 | 0:43:29 | |
two hours to get all of these rolled out so I need to crack on, really. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:33 | |
I'm using an oklava today - | 0:43:34 | 0:43:37 | |
it's a traditional Turkish rolling pin. | 0:43:37 | 0:43:41 | |
I've got my home-made broomstick. | 0:43:41 | 0:43:43 | |
What I do like about this is the fact that it's quite long, | 0:43:45 | 0:43:48 | |
so when the sheets get bigger, | 0:43:48 | 0:43:49 | |
you know you've got an even thickness of the pastry. | 0:43:49 | 0:43:52 | |
Once rolled, the filo is stretched. | 0:43:52 | 0:43:55 | |
This can be done in several small sections...or as one giant sheet. | 0:43:55 | 0:44:02 | |
Ali, do you need all of that bench? | 0:44:05 | 0:44:08 | |
The thing is, mine's two metres long. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:10 | |
I'll see what I can do, don't worry. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:17 | |
-Sorry, Kimberley. -No worries. | 0:44:17 | 0:44:19 | |
It's probably the most important bake I'll ever have to do. | 0:44:26 | 0:44:29 | |
The only way I can stay is that mine is good and someone else is bad. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:34 | |
And I love everyone here but I'd prefer it if they said it was me. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:37 | |
-So you're ready to roll? -I am indeed. | 0:44:39 | 0:44:41 | |
Can I help? Can you show me? | 0:44:41 | 0:44:44 | |
Literally going, "This is my worst nightmare." | 0:44:44 | 0:44:48 | |
Last one! | 0:44:53 | 0:44:55 | |
Now this is the most complicated bit. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:59 | |
That is one large sort of filo snake you need to wrangle. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:02 | |
Yes. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:03 | |
Right, what the heck is that? | 0:45:12 | 0:45:14 | |
-Walnut oil. -Walnut oil, OK. -Oh! | 0:45:14 | 0:45:18 | |
In she goes, that's it. | 0:45:24 | 0:45:26 | |
So I'm on time, but there's no time for things to go wrong. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:38 | |
There always is. | 0:45:38 | 0:45:41 | |
I'm well behind schedule. Well behind. | 0:45:42 | 0:45:45 | |
The mushrooms took rather longer to clean than I anticipated. | 0:45:45 | 0:45:50 | |
They cost me probably half an hour more than I thought. | 0:45:50 | 0:45:53 | |
Rob, is there anything I can do to help? | 0:45:53 | 0:45:55 | |
Trust me, if you could... | 0:45:55 | 0:45:57 | |
The best thing for me to do is just leave, maybe. Shall I get my coat? | 0:45:57 | 0:46:02 | |
Yeah, sorry, I'll give you a call. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:04 | |
They all say that. | 0:46:06 | 0:46:08 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:46:08 | 0:46:10 | |
Bakers, you've got half an hour left on this bake. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:13 | |
Hope that doesn't throw a SPANAKOPITA in the works! | 0:46:13 | 0:46:16 | |
(Excuse me.) | 0:46:16 | 0:46:18 | |
Is anybody up there? The god of crisp? | 0:46:25 | 0:46:28 | |
Please be crispy, please be crispy. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:34 | |
I can feel that it's crisping up, I'm quite happy with that, | 0:46:39 | 0:46:42 | |
it's looking quite good for the moment. | 0:46:42 | 0:46:44 | |
Scruffy. | 0:46:45 | 0:46:47 | |
Bakers, five minutes left. Five minutes. | 0:46:51 | 0:46:55 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:46:55 | 0:46:57 | |
What a beautiful, beautiful ring. | 0:47:05 | 0:47:08 | |
-Thank you. -You're welcome. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:10 | |
I'm thinking it's OK. | 0:47:13 | 0:47:17 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:22 | |
How's that bake looking? What temp have you got it on? | 0:47:22 | 0:47:27 | |
High. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:28 | |
-You said before, this is going to be the devil to get out. -It is. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:42 | |
Anything can happen in this tent of dreams/nightmares. | 0:47:42 | 0:47:47 | |
Right, OK, what do we need to do? | 0:47:51 | 0:47:54 | |
Oh, man, this is terrifying! | 0:47:54 | 0:47:56 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:47:56 | 0:47:58 | |
It's not good, is it? | 0:47:58 | 0:48:00 | |
I can't watch this. | 0:48:00 | 0:48:01 | |
OK, slowly. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:04 | |
Are we going to the plate? | 0:48:04 | 0:48:08 | |
Easy, easy! | 0:48:08 | 0:48:11 | |
All for one, one for all. | 0:48:11 | 0:48:13 | |
Time's up, bakers, that's it. | 0:48:23 | 0:48:25 | |
Put the pies on the end of your benches, please. | 0:48:25 | 0:48:28 | |
How can I be happy with it? It's quite a scruffy job. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:31 | |
Kimberley, do you want to bring your amazing pie up? | 0:48:42 | 0:48:45 | |
I think the only thing I'm concerned about is that | 0:48:45 | 0:48:49 | |
I tried to do something different from a coil, | 0:48:49 | 0:48:52 | |
and I'm wondering if it looks interesting enough. | 0:48:52 | 0:48:54 | |
It looks as though it's ready for a party. | 0:48:57 | 0:48:59 | |
I like the idea of adding the turmeric as well | 0:48:59 | 0:49:01 | |
to give you that yellow colour. | 0:49:01 | 0:49:03 | |
Beautiful layers of the actual filo pastry. | 0:49:04 | 0:49:08 | |
I have to say that that is absolutely beautiful. | 0:49:11 | 0:49:15 | |
The whole lot comes together as one big explosion in the mouth, | 0:49:15 | 0:49:18 | |
which just tastes and looks fantastic. Well done. | 0:49:18 | 0:49:21 | |
-SUE: I think they liked it. -Thank you so much. | 0:49:21 | 0:49:23 | |
I think it's cooked through. | 0:49:33 | 0:49:35 | |
I'm not worried about it not being cooked, | 0:49:35 | 0:49:37 | |
but there was a bit of scruffiness that resulted from rushing things. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:41 | |
There you go. | 0:49:41 | 0:49:44 | |
-Is this Pie-thagoras? -This is Pie-thagoras, yes. | 0:49:47 | 0:49:50 | |
It looks slightly different to the thing that you drew, to be honest. | 0:49:50 | 0:49:54 | |
It just looks like lots of sort of pasties sitting on a tray. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:58 | |
It's under-baked underneath. | 0:49:58 | 0:50:00 | |
Disaster. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:05 | |
The filling is good. | 0:50:05 | 0:50:07 | |
All the moisture in the mushrooms has gone through to the filo | 0:50:07 | 0:50:09 | |
-underneath, that's why it's soggy. -Yeah. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:13 | |
I am dreading Paul cuts through it, takes a bite | 0:50:17 | 0:50:20 | |
and says he hates it, it's got no flavour. | 0:50:20 | 0:50:24 | |
But I can't do anything about that now, | 0:50:24 | 0:50:26 | |
I've just got to hope that he does like the look of it and the taste. | 0:50:26 | 0:50:30 | |
Again, you've gone to town on the design, | 0:50:32 | 0:50:36 | |
-and we're just hoping that the flavour is there too. -So am I. | 0:50:36 | 0:50:39 | |
I have an issue with the inside. | 0:50:45 | 0:50:47 | |
There's a reason why baklava is small | 0:50:47 | 0:50:50 | |
and the layers are thin - it's so it can be baked inside. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:54 | |
-There are circles uncooked in the middle. -Style and substance. | 0:50:54 | 0:51:00 | |
That's a shame. | 0:51:00 | 0:51:02 | |
I don't think for one moment I'm going to be top of the pops, | 0:51:03 | 0:51:06 | |
but it would be good not to be at the bottom. | 0:51:06 | 0:51:09 | |
They look almost individually baked. | 0:51:10 | 0:51:12 | |
They were joined, but they sort of split apart in the bake. | 0:51:12 | 0:51:17 | |
I think you've got your flavours right here. | 0:51:21 | 0:51:24 | |
-The flavours are stunning and you have got a good flake. -Well done. | 0:51:24 | 0:51:27 | |
Thank you. | 0:51:27 | 0:51:29 | |
Happy with it? | 0:51:35 | 0:51:36 | |
Well, it's a lot better than what I usually knock up, | 0:51:36 | 0:51:39 | |
-so it's an improvement, I guess. -I appreciate your honesty. | 0:51:39 | 0:51:42 | |
You do know you're on Bake Off, don't you? | 0:51:42 | 0:51:44 | |
-That is beautiful. -Thank you. | 0:51:46 | 0:51:49 | |
-Well done, Ruby, you've done it again. -Thank you. -Cracking. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:52 | |
I love butternut squash. | 0:51:56 | 0:51:58 | |
I just wonder whether all those vegetables go together. | 0:51:58 | 0:52:02 | |
If you had some different textures in there... | 0:52:02 | 0:52:04 | |
I think it loses it because it's all like a mashed potato, basically. | 0:52:04 | 0:52:08 | |
I like that. Flavours complement each other. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:16 | |
And I'm delighted that you've got it off the tin. | 0:52:16 | 0:52:19 | |
I see you had tremendous support from a couple of experts here. | 0:52:19 | 0:52:25 | |
But it landed safely and I think it just looks very elegant. Lovely. | 0:52:25 | 0:52:29 | |
Paul knows a good spanakopita when he eats one. | 0:52:34 | 0:52:36 | |
And it could not taste right. Is it enough? | 0:52:36 | 0:52:39 | |
-Well, who knows? -Right. | 0:52:39 | 0:52:41 | |
-Oh, hello. -Lovely layers in there, really nice layers. | 0:52:47 | 0:52:51 | |
You've done really well underneath there. Look. Crisp. | 0:52:51 | 0:52:56 | |
I love it. The flake's there, the taste, the spinach. | 0:53:02 | 0:53:06 | |
-So well done, you've done it. -Thank you. -Well done! | 0:53:06 | 0:53:09 | |
It's all going to be in the taste, to be honest, | 0:53:20 | 0:53:22 | |
and that's what's petrifying me right now. | 0:53:22 | 0:53:25 | |
If I mess up on this bake, I'm out. | 0:53:26 | 0:53:29 | |
It seems to have a flake. Let's have a look. | 0:53:32 | 0:53:35 | |
Got a good crispy base. | 0:53:40 | 0:53:42 | |
It tastes good with the almond as well, and the orange coming through. | 0:53:49 | 0:53:52 | |
It's very similar to baklava, and it's not as sweet, which I like. | 0:53:52 | 0:53:56 | |
You have put pistachio nuts on the top. | 0:53:56 | 0:53:59 | |
I'd have liked to see some of those inside as well. | 0:53:59 | 0:54:02 | |
-It would have added another element of texture as well. -Thank you. | 0:54:02 | 0:54:05 | |
Any idea who is in line for Star Baker? | 0:54:20 | 0:54:24 | |
I thought that Kimberley's was amazing. | 0:54:24 | 0:54:27 | |
I love the flavour of that, with the chicken and bacon, | 0:54:27 | 0:54:29 | |
the turmeric in the shell as well. It was delicious. | 0:54:29 | 0:54:32 | |
She's been very stable as well throughout most of the Bake Off. | 0:54:32 | 0:54:36 | |
Well, I think Ruby has done very well. | 0:54:36 | 0:54:38 | |
She's a student, and she has absolutely no equipment at all, | 0:54:38 | 0:54:43 | |
-and yet she gets success. -And at the other end of the line? | 0:54:43 | 0:54:47 | |
When Glenn did his pie, the idea sounded great, | 0:54:47 | 0:54:51 | |
but unfortunately the custard was pretty useless, it wasn't | 0:54:51 | 0:54:54 | |
doing anything, and it disappointed me a lot. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:56 | |
And of course he was last on technical. | 0:54:56 | 0:54:59 | |
Who else do you think is in trouble? MARY: Ali. | 0:54:59 | 0:55:01 | |
He made some very poor custard tarts and his pie was just not successful. | 0:55:01 | 0:55:07 | |
Rob had a bit of a nightmare with his mushroom. | 0:55:07 | 0:55:10 | |
He tried to be too clever. | 0:55:10 | 0:55:12 | |
We were looking for something stunning to take our breath away - | 0:55:12 | 0:55:15 | |
it's the Showstopper. It didn't look a Showstopper. | 0:55:15 | 0:55:18 | |
I have one person in mind, who I think has fallen away | 0:55:18 | 0:55:21 | |
from the rest of the pack, and I just need to talk to Mary | 0:55:21 | 0:55:24 | |
to see if we've got the same person. | 0:55:24 | 0:55:26 | |
Hello, bakers. As you know, every week, Paul and Mary | 0:55:38 | 0:55:42 | |
award the accolade of Star Baker, so this week's Star Baker is | 0:55:42 | 0:55:46 | |
someone who produced a cracking tart, someone who puts shrubbery to perfect | 0:55:46 | 0:55:51 | |
effect in a caramel and produced a lovely ring with a piggy crunch. | 0:55:51 | 0:55:55 | |
Well done, Kimberley. Congratulations! | 0:55:55 | 0:55:58 | |
Now, sadly, I'm the bearer of not such joyful tidings. | 0:56:02 | 0:56:06 | |
I'm afraid we can't take all of you on our journey. | 0:56:09 | 0:56:15 | |
There's one person who won't be joining us next week. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:18 | |
And Mary and Paul have decided that that person is... | 0:56:21 | 0:56:25 | |
-..Ali. -That's fine. | 0:56:35 | 0:56:36 | |
-We're really sorry. -Ali, come and get a hug. | 0:56:36 | 0:56:40 | |
-We're going to miss you. Double hug, come on. -It's scary, but go with it. | 0:56:40 | 0:56:44 | |
I don't want to go. Before, I did everything. | 0:56:44 | 0:56:47 | |
I prayed, and my prayer was, please, let me go through. | 0:56:47 | 0:56:49 | |
But if I don't, then I know that's for the best. | 0:56:49 | 0:56:53 | |
'This morning, going into the Showstopper, I was anxious.' | 0:56:53 | 0:56:57 | |
It was scary. | 0:56:57 | 0:56:58 | |
I knew if I got it wrong, I could go, | 0:56:58 | 0:57:00 | |
and I knew if I did all right, it could be safe. | 0:57:00 | 0:57:03 | |
And... Yeah, you start to really care. | 0:57:03 | 0:57:06 | |
Just carry on baking. You're brilliant. You'll get there. | 0:57:07 | 0:57:10 | |
I feel very sorry for Ali, but I'm pleased for myself, obviously. | 0:57:10 | 0:57:15 | |
I'm through to the next week. That's good. | 0:57:15 | 0:57:18 | |
It's a really bittersweet feeling. | 0:57:20 | 0:57:24 | |
I'm clearly happy with myself that I'm still in there, | 0:57:27 | 0:57:30 | |
but it's just really, really sad to see somebody go. | 0:57:30 | 0:57:34 | |
I didn't feel any relief, and that's perfectly honest, | 0:57:34 | 0:57:37 | |
because I was so sad for Ali. | 0:57:37 | 0:57:39 | |
He's just a lovely, kind, nice man, | 0:57:39 | 0:57:43 | |
and I will really miss him. | 0:57:43 | 0:57:45 | |
If you don't keep in touch, I'll kill you. | 0:57:45 | 0:57:49 | |
Kimberley deserved to be Star Baker, she was absolutely fantastic. | 0:57:49 | 0:57:53 | |
Her Showstopper was one of the best things I've tried for ages. | 0:57:53 | 0:57:57 | |
It was great. It's lovely. | 0:57:57 | 0:57:59 | |
It's a really nice endorsement of my baking this weekend, | 0:57:59 | 0:58:01 | |
so I'm really pleased. | 0:58:01 | 0:58:03 | |
The Bake Off meant a hell of a lot to me. | 0:58:03 | 0:58:05 | |
I've learned so much and I'm going to walk out with my head high. | 0:58:05 | 0:58:09 | |
'Next time: The bakers take on biscuits...' | 0:58:16 | 0:58:19 | |
Just drizzle the living heck out of it. | 0:58:19 | 0:58:22 | |
'..with a signature tray bake that sees some crumble...' | 0:58:22 | 0:58:25 | |
-Stop! -I can't. -It's just a blackberry! | 0:58:25 | 0:58:29 | |
'..the thinnest Technical Challenge ever...' | 0:58:29 | 0:58:32 | |
Oh, no, I've got a break. | 0:58:32 | 0:58:34 | |
'And a Showstopper...' | 0:58:34 | 0:58:36 | |
A Dalek. | 0:58:36 | 0:58:37 | |
'..that puts their Bake Off dreams in the balance.' | 0:58:37 | 0:58:40 | |
Oh, I feel sick baking this. | 0:58:40 | 0:58:42 | |
Yes, you're OK. | 0:58:42 | 0:58:44 | |
