Welcome to Paul Hollywood Overconfidence Week, also known as Bread Week.
Actually, this season, it was pun week.
The only things English people love more than mushy peas and colonialism are absolutely terrible puns.
Round, juicy, just waiting for you to take a bite out of them … see!
I can play this game too.
For once, it seems like everyone knows exactly what theyre doing, and everything goes according to plan.
He uses a Korean fermented chili paste called gochujang to give them a hot and spicy flavor.
Of course Dylans buns are hot and spicy.
When Paul finally tries them, he is absolutely effusive with praise.
He says more words talking about Dylans buns than he did during all of season 14.
I could go on about his buns all day as well.)
Oh, thats the last thing we need.
Does he even need a co-judge during Bread Week?
Everyone is a bit of a triumph, but John whiffs with his Greek-inspired creation.
The filling was too wet, so it left a deep pocket in the center of the roll.
Usually deep pockets will get you whatever you want, but not onBaking Show, darling.
Gill is very pleased with her black pudding (gross!)
and chorizo buns that she tops with mustard custard.
This makes me think that Colonel Mustard fromClueshould invent a wonderful dessert.
Yes, Ive had Sara Lee, but have you had Colonel Mustards Custard?
The technical is aBaking Showfirst with Paul requesting the bakers make a seven-stranded braided bread wreath.
These are the little changes that continue to make the show exciting.
Did she mean plait or pinch?
Are we still playing the pun game?
Its such a pleasure watching Nelly listen to Paul praising her wreath.
The showstopper is to make a cornucopia out of bread with at least two different kinds of bread inside.
All these horns and no one even made a joke about being horny.
Are we punning or are we not?
The only problem with Pride is that everything is rainbow.
He says they have never done this before, so he knows theyre not going to rise.
John goes out for a little cry in the garden, and sis, its okay.
Weve all been there.
[My partner] Alijaz said, She could still fall over, she tells John.
Why am I crying?
The showstoppers all seem complicated enough but attainable, which is exactly the sweet spot for a good challenge.
(Too bad Paul says the rolls are boring.)
They try his amaretto doughnuts, and both start purring like the cat that inspired Dylan.
Then they turn to his maple bacon knots, and Paul says theyre expensive and indulgent.
(There we go with TP adjectives again.)
Paul tells Dylan hes a good little baker, and you might see that is how he flirts.
But not everyone does such a great job.
If its inspired by America, then it needs to be big.
Even his pretzels, Paul says, are like a cinnamon loaf.
Andy is free to bake another day because it is John and his buns that are going home.
