Great British Bakeoff! But American! Wednesday, January 15, 2025

The tent was back up for class! And it was still winter. Because sometimes the aesthetic seemed to supersede the whole comfort thing. But, hey, at least the little, flimsy ovens would be on to keep people sort of warm for this next week.

"It's bread week! But don't worry, we haven't forgotten about the showstopper cakes from last week that you all were supposed to bring in," Tony said. "But that will be judged as you settle in to show us what you think your signature focaccia is."

"Mm, more cake," Steve said, grinning. "And bread!" A combination only a super-powered metabolism could love.

"And, once we judge that focaccia, your technical challenge will be to make a traditional French baguette." It wouldn't end in tears at all. Tony was just so irrationally hopeful. And the level of time travel necessary for all this baking...

"Plus your own butter," Steve added helpfully.

"Yes, a flavored butter," Tony agreed. "But we'll be nice and let you do that one however you want."

"As long as that way isn't taking butter that's already made out of the fridge," Steve cautioned.

Technical Challenge

"Make three baguettes using the couche," Steve said, handing out the recipe but not explaining what a couche was. "And a flavored butter of some kind to eat with the baguette!"

Nell's baguettes had a wonderful crunch to them, but were soft inside. "I have a simple garlic and herb butter to go with them," she said. "Or there is honey butter if you prefer that."
