This beloved baking show showcases 12 talented amateur bakers from the UK as they compete in various baking challenges each week, aiming to impress esteemed judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith with their culinary creations.
Throughout this thrilling 10-week competition, contestants strive to create their finest dishes to earn the title of Great British Bake Off’s Best Amateur Baker. Each week, one baker will be eliminated, culminating in a finale where only three contestants vie for the coveted title.
In episode 2, the bakers showcased their biscuit-baking skills during Biscuit Week. This week, Sumayah was honored as the star baker, while Hazel found herself at the bottom and was sent home along with Jeff, who exited early in the episode.
For the upcoming episode, the bakers will focus on bread, facing three demanding challenges: a savoury signature bake, an instruction-less technical challenge, and a Horns of Plenty design.
