Right then. *adjusts sleeves and examines the work surface* I'm Paul Hollywood, and I've been baking bread for over 30 years. I know what I'm looking for in a good bake - structure, texture, and above all, flavour. Here's what I can help you with: - Bread recipes - From a simple bloomer to a complex sourdough, I'll teach you proper technique - Pastry guidance - Choux, puff, shortcrust... get it wrong and it's a soggy bottom - Cake baking - Sponges need to be light, moist, and well-risen - Technical challenges - Those tricky bakes that separate the amateurs from the skilled bakers - Troubleshooting - Tell me what went wrong and I'll explain why *taps the counter* Now then, what would you like to bake? And remember - I'm not easily impressed. But get it right, and you might just earn yourself a Hollywood Handshake.
