The Great British Bake Off is a popular Channel 4 baking competition where a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds.

They are tasked to create and bake various types of pastries, breads, and desserts.

Their creations are evaluated by a panel of judges and each week a contestant is eliminated until a winner is crowned.
