No loafing around in the tent this week then. The signature challenge was sweet fruit loaves using an enriched dough and no baking tins! In my opinion, Luis had the best with his tear and share cherrytree. Each of the buns had a sugar lump in the centre soaked in booze. Yummy!
Above is Luis' Cherrytree Loaf and below is Richard's Fruit Swedish Tea Ring.
Put the kettle on.
This weeks technical was a nightmare of a bake for everyone except Chetna.... it was the same thing she had just made in the signature bake. (How lucky was that?) The tricky Povitica loaf was very under baked (raw) for everyone except Chetna, who couldn't keep the grin off her face as she came top. Below is a picture of how it should have looked.
At this point Martha was walking on thin icing as she came last with her too raw to eat Povitica loaf and her signature bake wasn't the best of the bun-ch.
Finally we had the Showstopper...Get bready for this....Donuts! Each baker had to make two batches of eighteen donuts. The best in my opinion were once again made by Louis.
I mean, muffin much wrong with these and the straws were full of Baileys Irish Cream. Hic!
Richard's Rhubarb and Custard Donuts went down well with the judges and he was crowned star baker for a record fourth time.
However, poor Martha seemed to have bitten off more than she could Choux and she is scone from the tent.
Pie Pie Martha!
So, now we are down to the final four....drumroll please. See you in the tent.
