A Baker’s Life

Paul Hollywood goes back to his roots in Merseyside, to explore where his love of baking began

Paul Hollywood goes back to his roots in Merseyside, to explore where his love of baking began.

Paul takes us to the church he attended growing up and bakes millionaire’s shortbread for the congregation.

He also makes a traybake with two children from the school where his brother Jason is headteacher, and the pair read Paul’s old school reports.

Was Bake Off’s blue-eyed boy a model pupil? Our favourite bit, though, is when Paul visits his mum to recreate the first thing he ever baked.
