EveryGBBSfan knows that Bread Week is essentially the shows version of the Upside Down.
Why, you may ask?
Because bread is part science and part intuition.
And without both parts, youre screwed.
But not so in this weeks episode.
Or rather baa-sil sauce, which is another word for pesto.
Michelle and Phil both decide to put pancetta and cheese into their loaves.
Three bakers dare to take the candied road less traveled, however.
Alice decides to create a bread version of baklava, which she thinks originated in Turkey.
(Actually the Ottoman Empire, but lets not split hairs.)
Helena and David both make cinnamon rolls, butvery, verydifferent takes.
Davids fancy cinnamon swirls with brandied fruit are topped with vanilla buttercream, which Paul gags at.
(Why are you the way that you are, Paul?)
But the panic is still there, inside the soul of each baker who knows fuck-all about bread.
David rounds out the group with cinnamon rolls that are too doughy.
Great flavor mixture, but overbaked.
And Amelia sends Prue into a coughing fit with her Chorizo Brunch.
Prue chokes out that its still delicious and Paul says everything in the roll could have been much smaller.
Ooh, its on now, folks.
(This ispreciselywhy we had the Revolutionary War, people.)
The veggie burgers involve a little mashing and smashing, but nothing too bad.
The latter woman attempts to kill Prue again by putting too much chili in her Scooby-Doo burgers.
(Big patty, small bun.)
Henry, David and Steph take the top three spots.
After a brief break, the bakers prepare for their five-hour, bread-scoring Showstopper Challenge.
A challenge this long is often a mixed bag.
Its sad because she had great energy and a very interesting accent and said sod it off a lot.
How all these dynamics will play out for the shows first-ever DAIRY WEEK, though, is anyones guess.
