GBBO again

Week 2 was bread week.  My fitst attempt at challah and at braiding.  It tripled in size when baked.  Not quite as airy as expected, so i wonder if i should be using bread flour for extra gluten.

3rd week was tart week.  I thought of making a tartes tan like the bakers did in their signature bake, but decided to make cherry curd (i've never made curd before) and use it with custard in a tart.  Cherry curd doesnt really taste like cherries, fyi.

If i made it again, i'd probably make it with cherry jam and save the curd for toast.  The tart was just soft and sweet without a strong flavor of anything.

I watched episode 3 at a friend's house. Can you believe she's never watched it before?

  1. Ah, I swear they keep switching the days and times, I can't always find the show! I totally missed the tart episode.
    The bread episode made me nervous. All that dough rising, or not rising.
