Paul Hollywood's Bread

Paul Hollywood takes viewers on a globetrotting journey into the diverse and colourful world of flat breads. Along the way, he serves up flavour-packed dishes from all over the world, delicious at any time of day. With little more than cornflour and water, Paul makes authentic corn tortilla served stacked and layered with spicy roast chicken, guacamole and sour cream in a mouth-watering corn tortilla tower. He bakes an aromatic, herb laden Middle Eastern maneesh - dipped in his smoky baba ganoush, a perfect lunchtime snack. Paul also tries his hand at making traditional wafer thin Indian lentil dosa and gets to grips with a giant, Caribbean supersize flat bread, buss up shot. But there is a special place in his heart for Cyprus, so he shares his recipe for nigella scented pittas stuffed with his favourite filling, succulent pork souvlaki.

Sourdough is bread for the connoisseur, and is Paul Hollywoods passion. Today he shares how to cultivate a sourdough starter, harnessing natural yeasts to leaven your bread. He starts with a classic sourdough and from this basic recipe, he makes the ultimate sweet bread, a white chocolate and raspberry sourdough and a fruit packed summer pudding. But for a real family feast, Paul serves tuna nicoise salad with tapenade and a stunning, leaf shaped sourdough fougasse bursting with olives.

Paul Hollywood bakes breads that are spectacular treats for special occasions. He bakes an impressive Sicilian lemon and orange bread with a sweet almond glaze and teaches a local baking club the joy of baking a historic British classic, Lardy cake. He shares the secrets of Danish pastries making tempting onion and mushroom swirls but the show stopper is Paul’s savoury brioche crown, bursting with molten mozzarella and parma ham and topped with a spicy pumpkin salad.
