The Great British Baking Show

- Season 9

(2018)

The bakers tackle signature biscuits that will say something both about them and a place in the British Isles. Next the bakers face their first Technical, and hiding under the gingham cloth is one of Paul's childhood favourites - an iconic biscuit that's sure to send the bakers round in circles. Finally, it's crunch time. The bakers will have to be picture perfect with their first showstopper - a spectacular 3D biscuit portrait challenge that requires precision baking and superb decorating skills. Three challenges, three chances to win star baker, three chances to ...

The 11 remaining bakers face a tough test in Cake Week, including a crowd-pleasing signature challenge, Prue's first technical challenge, and a chocolate collared showstopper.

It's Bread Week, and the ten remaining bakers have a lot to prove with three tough challenges set by judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith. There is a teatime fruity favourite Signature; a deceptively simple time-test of a Technical with an international flavour; and an ambitious Showstopper that's the largest bread sculpture challenge ever set in the tent. Only one can claim Star Baker, while one of them will leave the tent for good.

The bakers must create a cracking meringue Signature, a wobbly Technical, and a complex chocolate Showstopper that promises to reveal all.

Paul and Prue set the bakers a classic teatime Signature. There's also an Arabian Technical and a fiddly Showstopper.

It is Pastry Week, and Paul and Prue are looking perfection - with savory and sweet samosas, a classic French technical, and for the final challenge, a daunting majestic pie fit for a banquet.

For the very first time on Bake Off, it's Vegan week. Prue and Paul have set three very different challenges to test the remaining bakers. A savoury pastry Signature, with no butter involved. A cracking Technical, with a very unusual ingredient. And finally, a spectacular Showstopper that, in the heat of the tent, threatens to lead to catastrophe. Who will keep their cool and win star baker? And who will be meeting their end?

Velkommen to Danish Week in the latest episode of The Great British Bake Off. The bakers face unfamiliar recipes as they battle to impress Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood. There's a bread challenge Signature where they must demonstrate style as well substance. Paul sets a spherical Technical - and with a place in the Bake Off Semi-final at stake, everyone is out to impress. And for their final challenge, the bakers must deliver an elaborate pastry Showstopper fit for a Danish birthday party. Who will become an honorary Great Dane, and who will be leaving the tent?

The remaining bakers are just three patisserie challenges away from the final.

Paul and Prue set three final challenges in the Bake Off Final.

Four former contestants - two pairs of past bake-off rivals - return to the tent for a Christmas themed one weekend only bake-off, each who had different issues which sent them packing from the tent their first time around. They will have to make twelve iced biscuits apiece on the theme of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" as their signature. Beyond the basics, Paul and Prue are looking for originality in the way they tackle the theme. For the technical, they are each asked to make six decorative wafer-thin Icelandic Christmas fried breads called laufabrauð. And the ...

In the second seasonal reunion of the year, four former contestants reconvene at the tent for a bake-off to ring in the new year, one of those four who won the title the year of her competition and thus may be the one with the target on her back sighted by the other three. For the signature, the bakers are each required to make an iced stollen wreath, the only other stipulations being that the circle forming the wreath must be fully enclosed, and that the mandatory marzipan encased within the dough, typical of a stollen, is made by the bakers themselves. For the ...
