" Now, for your signature challenge today, the judges would not only like to test your baking skills, but your hairdressing skills, because you're going to be making a savoury pastry plait.=The judges are looking for a crisp, flaky, laminated pastry with a beautiful, delicious, savory filling inside of your choice.
Paul Hollywood: "The trick with this challenge, as ever with a puff pastry, is lamination."
Prue leith: " It's pastry week, which I think is one of the most important weeks we have, because, frankly, if you can't make pastry, you're not much of a baker."
Paul Hollywood: "What we want in this challenge is to cut through flaky, buttery layers to a gorgeous, savory filling inside. Classically, sausage meat works beautifully well in a plait. Whatever it is that they choose, it has to have a good, strong, well seasoned filling."
