Who made this dish?
[Signature challenge: the ultimate garlic bread. Any style, but it must be made with a yeasted dough and taste fabulously garlicky. Three hours. Paul and Nigella asked for garlic to be the star, with any extra flavors complementing it rather than overpowering it.] Molly made mini loaves using a single bulb of garlic in her garlic butter, which was brushed on and piped inside each loaf before the dough was sealed with a stitched, braided-effect pattern on top. Molly: "I'm just trying to check if the dough has been kneaded enough." Molly: "I'm going to put a whole bulb in the garlic butter. A whole bulb of garlic feels like a lot of garlic." Paul: "Nice idea." Molly: "It's a bit like stitching rather than braiding, almost, but it looks braided on the top. It's really nice." Nigella: "You make bread a lot?" Molly: "I enjoy making bread. I quite like it." Noel: "See, his face lit up. You said I make bread a lot." Molly: "No pressure, though." Molly: "It's puffed up pretty nicely." Molly: "Nicely spread through the whole thing." Molly: "Right, going in, guys." Molly: "Yeah, I'm pleased with it. We've all got cozy together." Molly: "Ta-da." Molly (after judging): "I definitely underfilled them a bit. Totally fair feedback. So, you know, I've just gotta take it and crack on and hope that I can have a good technical."
Paul: "I love the color. I think the color's good. I think it might be a bit dense. Let's have a look. You can see how tight that is." Nigella: "How much garlic did you use?" Molly: "So it's one bulb." Nigella: "A bit more garlic for me." Paul: "Not getting much flavor in that at all. It's like a plain white bread." Nigella: "It's just a bit compacted." Paul: "Needed a little bit longer of proving and certainly more flavor." Molly: "I thought you might say that." Alison: "I'd love it with a nice tomato soup." Paul (later): "I thought her signature was okay."
