The remaining six bakers have moved onto Kent this week to bake bread, after which they will be down one more person before moving onto their next stop. They may or may not be aware that they will be judged more critically as bread is Paul's obsession. As with the previous signature bakes, they are given free reign to bake the bread of their choice. No creativity allowed in the technical, which is to make a cob loaf, the only stipulation being that the kneading needs to be done by hand. And for the final bread bake, they are asked to make twelve sweet rolls and twelve savory rolls in up to three different flavors for each, the entire batch which must be presented for judging so that Mary and Paul can check for consistency. Interspersed with the bakes, Mel and Sue learn about the importance of bread in British food history, the controversy surrounding the actual structure of windmills which were needed for grinding grains, the history of the sandwich especially as a convenience snack, and the effect of industrialization on the rise of the standard white sandwich loaf.
