A slice of pastry week with the Bake Off's best

Occasionally I host online baking classes on behalf of a company called Bake with a Legend, the 'legend' is always someone who has been a competitor on the Great British Bake Off.

As each new season airs, we plan a class each week to mirror the latest episode.

I was allocated episode six this year, which was pastry week.

Of course, there are a few different types of pastry that could be used: shortcrust, rough puff, full puff, hot water crust, choux or filo.

This year the two challenges we could choose from were rough puff or hot water crust.

The signature challenge was a sausage plait using rough puff and the technical challenge was a Gala pie using hot water crust. I really love my savoury bakes, so both were right up my street.
