      It's pronounced, "Ben-Yaye" ok. Yes.

  • @BeboRulz

    I still don't understand why they can't have portable AC units, blast freezers, or anti-griddles added into the tent. AC specifically.

    That pita challenge is something I expected to see on Masterchef, not on a baking show

    • @lynnjepson8218

      that was so ridiculous and unrealistic!! Especially in the heat!

    GBBO started off as the best of GB’s *home* bakers yet every year the technicals get more and more difficult. It seems that Paul & Prue just want to show off to each other how much they know. Mary Berry is a fabulous home cook and is more interested in sharing knowledge than wielding it as a weapon.

    • @maxorr1395
      @maxorr1395 Před 2 lety +17

      i think another big part is as the series continues they are kind of forced to make the challenges more ‘interesting’. people aren’t going to continue to tune in when they do the same things year after year. its the nature of television nowadays 🤷

  • @lauraorem1276

    GBBO needs to spring for air conditioning in the tent. It's not fair if the bakers are doomed to failure by the weather.

    • @Luboman411
      @Luboman411 Před rokem +9

      Or maybe do the competition in a proper building with actual AC? Better than trying to find a way to air condition a flimsy tent.

      Or bees 🐝. In the junior version, there must be buckets of bees in the food, it’s just unsanitary and dangerous for the participants.

  • @joebleasdale5557

    The fact that the cream horn James Acaster had to make is not on this list is just insane - the celeb ones are usually fairy cakes or fondant fancies or something 😂

    I felt sorry for Rosie when she had to restart her choux and her pastry over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. I can understand how awful she must have been feeling. I love Rosie, I loved her when she was on bake off and whenever something bad happened to her, I felt so bad for her and absolutely gutted. I just felt like I wanted to give her a hug and reassure her that she was wonderful baker and she could do it.

    It's BEN-Yay - not whatever they said for Beignet!

  • @alicialuxxx6088
    @alicialuxxx6088 Před 2 lety +91

    Beignets are pronounced Ben-yays. It's french

      It hurts my ears to hear the way this guy pronounces it! Every New Orleanean would be having a fit if they heard him butchering one of their most famous and popular treats.

    • @therra1101
      @therra1101 Před 2 měsíci

      I don´t think that´s how the French would pronounce it.

  • @saranissen6210
    @saranissen6210 Před 2 lety +15

    It always seems like an Overflødighedshorn as it's called in Danish can be very hard to do if it's your first time, and even more if you have to make the marcipan for the kransekage from scratch. I think it's more commen in Denmark to assemble the rings with melted dark chocolate.

  • @christinabroadhead3810
    @christinabroadhead3810 Před 2 lety +5

    This is great and the correct pronunciation of pita , is pita, "peeta" not pitta, please.

    • @dramallamarama5300
      @dramallamarama5300 Před rokem +2

      It’s how it’s pronounced in the UK, Pita is American-English but Pitta is the British-English spelling and pronunciation.

  • @alexanderbolton
    @alexanderbolton Před 2 lety +6

    I think the hardest or one of the hardest was the sarawak from series 9, with all the thin layers and geometric patterns.

  • @impala327

    The beignets are pronounced “ben-yays”, at lesst in New Orleans. Love them!

  • @asheharris6642
    @asheharris6642 Před rokem +2

    There's room for improvement, including doing repeat technicals from years past. Some of the earlier ones were good and actually baking challenges, even if they had some difficulties mixed in.

    It's cruel, they needed Bear Grylls skills to fix their fires, so they could do the pitta bread challenge. 🔥😁
    As for soufflés that really mean. It's like trying to make a dress when you can barely sew. Soufflés are a chef skill, mean. 😒

  • @JZJ7777
    @JZJ7777 Před 8 měsíci +1

    I’ve personally never liked the pita challenge. It has no place in a baking competition.

  • @josephlewis9237
    @josephlewis9237 Před rokem

    I felt sorry for Rosie for having to start her choux and pastry many times over and over and over again. I can understand how awful she must have been feeling in that technical challenge. I felt just as bad as when I found out she missed out on a place in the final. I was gutted. I loved Rosie. She was, still is and always will be my all time favourite bake off contestant.
    I don't blame all the contestants for struggling. Technical challenges can be painfully difficult and frustrating and I absolutely sympathise.

    All this video did was remind of me of the injustice of Laura making the final over Hermine

    • @kenneythekoala
      @kenneythekoala Před 2 lety +2

      Hermine was such a better baker, but homegirl served them a ball of rubber she had to go

      @RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea Před rokem

      I liked Laura, but she had way more mess ups and made it whilst Hermine was a bit more consistent and failed in the semifinals. Broke my heart really

    • @JZJ7777
      @JZJ7777 Před 8 měsíci

      Exactly! I understand why Hermine got kicked out, but still! I think Laura’s lucky she made it so far! She was so messy!

    Chocolate Babka - I think I should have actually used caster sugar instead of granulated… filling was super dry and grainy

  • @susansparke3462
    @susansparke3462 Před rokem

    Unfortunately, I've only seen the seasons that were broadcast on America's Public Broadcasting Station as I don't have Netflix, so I've sadly missed out on the recent seasons, but many of these challenges seem like they're more in the cooking category or confectionery category rather than in the general baking, bread or pastry categories. I can understand incorporating some cooking, like for fillings for vol-au-vents and the like, but it is a BAKING competition, not a cooking competition. The open fire pita bread challenge sounds like it didn't go well at all. Our ancestors would have cooked over hearths or open fires, but that is an entirely different skill set that takes years to perfect, including how to build and manage your fire, not to mention the skill in learning how to gauge the temperature by feeling alone. It sounds like it was done to intentionally make the contestants look foolish or to set one apart who might be skillful at campfire cooking.

    @olohijeoyakhire2258 Před 2 lety +1

    One of the hardest challenges to me was that showstopper where they made something out of milk and had to keep stirring and stirring. Think it's an Indian dish

  • @kimbunchalastnames5357

    "bane-yets"? it sounds like they should resemble blades that can be strapped onto a rifle's barrel and muzzle. can be used to reduce the number of bakers in the group, maybe?

  • @alexrodgers9247
    @alexrodgers9247 Před 9 měsíci

    Wow, Paul has finally gotten “‘Baker’s Belly”’. Ah, age comes to us all. Paul has actually done very well in the weight department after being around food all his life (especially sweets).
