Is there a week more feared in the Bake Off calendar than Bread Week? Not only do the bakers have to come up with a zillion different ways to make bread different and fun (harder than it looks when working in shades of brown), they also have to deal with Paul Hollywood, the sergeant of sourdough, bringer of pain and captain of cob loaves.
So obviously crusts fly in episode three. The bakers are must conjure up three typically niche bread products: cottage loaves, Devonshire splits (a split bread roll stuffed with jam and cream) and a plaited bread centrepiece loaf: some of which go well, many more of which do not.
