Could our bakers make a stunning Focaccia and what about their ciabatta breadsticks - one so deserving the bread master himself Paul Hollywood extended his hand for a rare handshake!

Henry's 21st birthday mystery Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

Happy New Year! Just when you thought it was over for us until Summer 2021, it wasn't... as Bake Off was back with two special episodes over Christmas and New Year. Josh, Howard and Jane couldn't let the episodes pass without comment, so got together to reflect on the second special episode which aired in the UK on Sunday 3rd January 2021.

It saw a return to the tent for Helena, Rahul, Henry and Nancy and despite none of the quad being strangers to the tent, nerves were clearly there as they sought to impress once more making crumble, Bao buns and a showstopper to celebrate their 21st birthdays. You'll hear what the trio thought about the episode and a bizarre anecdote from Howard about Rahul that we can't quite believe we've never heard before.

We are continuing to have great fun hosting online baking classes for fans from all around the world and more classes go on sale every week. Whether you'd like to learn how to make a Craquelin with Dan, Charlotte Royal with Ian or Pork Pie with Howard, you can check out our latest online baking classes on our website. Classes start at 5pm or 8pm UK time on Saturday and Sunday to accommodate bakers from around the world, in particular our many friends from the USA. The classes are great fun and if you use the code PODCAST at checkout you'll get 10% off, whilst gift vouchers and bundle packs are also available.

Also, perhaps you're missing your work colleagues or friends and thinking about how you can have a fun activity during these difficult times and a private online event with us is the perfect answer. Head over to our website learn more about our virtual events.
