What Are They Baking on Tonight’s Great British Bake Off? Biscuit Week Brings Slice-and-Bake Surprises

It’s Biscuit week on tonight’s episode of The Great British Bake Off (8pm, Channel 4).

The ovens are on, the gingham altar is gleaming, and it’s time for another helping of The Great British Bake Off. Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond are back at the helm, leading a fresh batch of bakers through the second episode of the brand-new series. Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith are ready to raise the stakes with 30 more challenges across the season — but tonight, it’s all about biscuits.

What’s on the menu in Biscuit Week?

The bakers face three very different tests, each designed to push their skills to the limit:

• Signature Challenge: Slice-and-Bake Biscuits
  The bakers must create picture-perfect slice-and-bake biscuits. With neat patterns and precision layers, there’s nowhere to hide when the judges slice through.

• Technical Challenge: Chocolate Hobnobs
  Paul Hollywood sets the bakers a classic — and deceptively tricky — Hobnob. The nation’s favourite dunker demands texture, snap and just the right coating of chocolate. Will the bakers rise to the challenge or crumble under pressure?

• Showstopper: Biscuit Time Capsules
  In a whimsical twist, the bakers are tasked with creating biscuit “time capsules,” turning their favourite mementos into edible keepsakes. From treasured toys to travel memories, each creation must be structurally sound, visually striking, and of course, delicious.

Who will rise — and who will fall?

With flour flying and nerves fraying, one baker will win the coveted title of Star Baker, while another will face the heartbreak of leaving the tent. Whose keepsake crunch will delight Paul and Prue — and whose journey will come to a crumbly end?

Tune in tonight at 8 to see whose biscuit dreams are golden and whose snap just doesn’t make the cut.
