What adjective does Rowan keep using in this episode?
Its basically two balls of dough pressed together to form something that looks like a bread gourd.
And, yes, because of the balls, we get all sorts of puns.
Paul walks over to Matty and asks the proportion of his ball size.
Yes, sometimes theyre working on side dishes or fillings, but they had nothing to do this week.
Cant we have a mini-competition?
Maybe someone could win an advantage?
Could there be a hidden immunity idol in the tent?
Is it two in the loaf-a, one in the sofa?
No, thats not how this works.
Its also falling over, and he must stick a dowel down the middle to hold it.
You just want an easy life, he sighs as nothing goes right.
Paul tells her its because she didnt add enough salt to the mixture.
When the judges come out, they remark that almost all of them are underproved.
Maybe shes a slow burner, as they love to say onLove Island.
The showstopper is making a plaited bread centerpiece with two different types of flour and any fillings they want.
If you watched the episode, you already figured out that plaited means braided, right?
It just has to be bread.
I give Cristy mad props for making a challah and a babka that fit together.
Its just an intricate-looking wheel.
Regardless of the vague brief, everyone else tries to make their centerpiece look like a thing.
Well, not Daddy Dan, who just spells out the word pizza using braids for some reason?
Is it because it has Ndujain it?
(English people are crazy for this spicy sausage.
I dont think the modern English household could operate without Nduja or Halloumi.)
Well, thats what I would have made.
Josh is making a tiger for his favorite rugby team, the Leicester Tigers.
(Thats pronounced Lester.
Yeah, I know.
Try living here!)
Everyone is also freaking out about how complicated the braiding is and how they cant figure it out.
I dont know, I did the most cursory of YouTube searches, andthis video explainsit quite well.
As the baking period ends, my crush, Daddy Dan, seems in the deepest of trouble.
And because hes running out of time, he doesnt bake things all the way through.
Its an unmitigated disaster when he brings it up to the judges.
You know how they say that even bad pizza is still pretty good?
Rowan, for the third challenge this week, also has a poor showing for his standing tree sculpture.
Theyoohandahhover how good it is.
Joshs cranberry-orange and chocolate-orange tiger is another marvel.
At least Paul wasnt too horrible to her on her way out.
