The Great British Baking Show
This series sees ten passionate home bakers take part in a bake-off to test every aspect of their baking skills as they battle to be crowned the best amateur baker.
Upcoming Broadcasts:
Desserts (#203H) Duration: 56:15 STEREO TVPG
Follow the remaining 11 bakers as they deal with desserts: a trifle of biscuit, cake, jelly or custard in distinct layers; perfect Floating Islands; and a Showstopper of 24 petits fours. For the first time, there's a baking burglary in the tent!
Upcoming Broadcasts:
- KQED Plus: Fri, Sep 21, 2018 -- 7:00pm
- KQED Plus: Sat, Sep 22, 2018 -- 1:00am
Pies and Tarts (#204H) Duration: 56:16 STEREO TVPG
Watch the remaining bakers undertake double-crusted fruit pies, a challenge to even the most experienced bakers; English custard tart - a centuries-old recipe that causes a wobble for the contestants; and phyllo pie, with dough made from scratch.
Biscuits and Traybakes (#205H) Duration: 56:16 STEREO TVPG
Join eight bakers as they produce favorite traybakes, offering twists on everything from bakewells to banoffees and brownies. The Technical challenge is a French classic-tuiles. For the Showstopper, they construct biscuit towers of epic proportions.
Sweet Dough (#206H) Duration: 56:16 STEREO TVPG
Watch the bakers work with sweet dough, making tea loaves that are connected to home, and 36 sweet European buns, from Swedish cinnamon buns to German schnecken and French brioches. They also face Paul's most twisted Technical challenge yet.
Pastry (#207H) Duration: 56:16 STEREO TVPG
View the competition among the remaining six bakers to update old- fashioned suet puddings, create perfect religieuses - delicate choux buns filled with creme patissiere - and make three different kinds of puffed pastries.
Quarter Final (#208H) Duration: 56:46 STEREO TVPG
This week, the five remaining bakers are tested on unconventional flours and unusual desserts. They must make a loaf using flours such as spelt, rye, potato or tapioca flours, master meringue and custard dacquoise and create novelty vegetable cakes.
