BBC One - The Great British Bake Off, Series 5, Pastry

Week seven sees the bakers tested on all kinds of weird and wonderful pastries.

Week seven of the baking challenge sees the bakers tested on all kinds of weird and wonderful pastries, including show-stopping eclairs.

Week seven in the Bake Off tent sees the bakers tested on all kinds of weird and wonderful pastries. The remaining bakers are asked to make signature savoury parcels, ranging from pasties and wellingtons to samosas, and even exploring the fame of the beloved cornish pasty, which has spread much further than you would think - to Mexico.  

The technical challenge throws the bakers into unchartered territory with a pastry that, for the first time ever, none of the bakers have even heard of. Paul's recipe for kouign amann not only tests the bakers' technical ability but also their patience in a three-and-a-half-hour challenge to create a yeasted pastry full of buttery sugary layers.

Finally, the bakers must make show-stopping eclairs, two types each, which they hope will secure them a place in the quarter-finals of the Bake Off... 

On your marks, get set... bake!
