When it comes to bread, the only thing I love more than the smell of a loaf fresh from the oven is watching Bread Week on The Great British Bake Off. Yes, that’s right: I’m ranking TV shenanigans over an actual loaf. Sacrilege? Perhaps. Perhaps not.

As soon as the credits began to roll on this week’s episode, I was already planning my own challenge bake — bakes, plural, actually — and I got them proving the very next day.

If you’re not up to speed on how I’ve taken a much beloved TV show and irreparably warped it into weekly personalized baking challenges — you can catch up on the initial premise here, or see how weeks one and two went.
