Bread Week served up a rare disaster on The Great British Bake Off, as every contestant struggled with a Technical challenge involving eight grape and blue-cheese flatbreads
The one-hour limit left many bakes undercooked, prompting Paul Hollywood to criticise their thickness and Nigella Lawson to suggest a rather grim culinary punishment
Viewers joked that the judges needed a trip to the chippy afterwards
Nigella’s warm, pleasure-first approach to food has also won praise since replacing Prue Leith, particularly after she challenged negative language surrounding eating.
