Episodes -- Episode 3 : Bread
For their signature bakes the bakers had three hours to create a British classic : 12 Chelsea buns . In the technical challenge the bakers , using Paul 's recipe , were tasked to make a batch of 8 grilled non-yeasted garlic naan breads , brushed with garlic ghee and topped with coriander , in only one hour . Finally , for their 5-hour showstopper , the bakers were asked to create a three-tiered Korovai , elaborately decorated for a celebratory occasion ; most of the bakers chose the traditional wedding theme .

The ninth series of The Great British Bake Off began on 28 August 2018, with this being the second series to be broadcast on Channel 4. The series is presented by Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig, with judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith. This series saw a few changes to the usual format: the first episode being Biscuit Week (the previous 8 series began with a Cake Week), the documentary inserts were dropped, and the Final included the competitors doing a technical challenge outside the tent for the first time. The series was won by Rahul Mandal, with Kim-Joy Hewlett and Ruby Bhogal as the runners-up.
