This week on The Great British Baking Show, ten bakers had a common goal - to tempt Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood (aka The Silverback) with their tarts. Who demonstrated their flair for flavors and pastry perfection? And who crumbled under the pressure? All will be revealed, but first let’s refresh our memories on the results of the week just gone by.

Bread week belonged to John, whose signature flatbreads and showstopper bagels dazzled the judges with their savory and sweet flavor combinations. It was no surprise he rose to the heights of Star Baker as did his near-perfect plaited loaf in the technical round. Alas, bread was not Peter’s strong suit. His bagels resembled crusty rolls, his flatbreads were salty to the point of unpalatability and he came in last in the technical plaited loaf challenge.

A new week brought a fresh start to the tent in the form of a trio of tarts.
