BBC One - The Great British Bake Off, Series 3, Bread

Amateur bakers make an eight-strand plaited loaf and bake 12 sweet and 12 savoury bagels.

Amateur bakers have their skills tested to the limit. The contestants tackle Paul's recipe for an eight-strand plaited loaf and bake 24 bagels in the showstopper round.

From the off the atmosphere in the Bake Off tent is charged as eleven bakers attempt to make flatbread. Tempting Paul and Mary with two varieties, the bakers are under  pressure to produce 24 perfect flatbreads each.

The feared technical challenge has the bakers in a twist as they attempt Paul's recipe for the notoriously difficult eight-strand plaited loaf.

Remaining in the competition rests on pulling out all the stops in the showstopper challenge. Attempting a technique new to Bake Off, the bakers endeavour to make bagels. The eleven hopefuls have to produce 12 sweet and 12 savoury bagels, which are boiled before they are baked. But who will impress and be named Star Baker and who will fail to make the grade and leave the Bake Off tent?

Knowledge, drama, comedy and the arts for a broad adult audience.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.

The Bake Off is back. With more challenges than ever, who will rise to perfection?
