Come and chat to Bake off's PAUL HOLLYWOOD, Friday 10 October, 10-11am

[RachelMumsnet]

On the week that TV's most hot-contested baking challenge reaches its climax, we're thrilled that Paul Hollywood is returning to Mumsnet Towers. Paul last joined us back in February 2013 when he gave us his tips on bread-making. This Friday between 10 and 11am he will be on hand to help out with all your baking conundrums and of course give us the inside story on this year's GBBO.

Paul's latest book Paul Hollywood's British Baking is published this week and everyone who joins the webchat will be entered into a draw to win a SIGNED copy. If you're unable to join Paul on Friday morning, post a question in advance on this thread.

I think he enjoyed Nancy putting him in his place

Fast action, though, erm, it was out of date.

Yup, I think you have the makings of a MNer Paul. Get your thinking cap on for your nick name. Maybe you could find inspiration from this webchat?

BreastTester?

Hi Paul,
I don't have a proving drawer ( who does? And how can I get one?!) I also don't have an airing cupboard. So what would be the best way to prove dough?
Do I just need to put the heating on and hope for the best?

Oh and my 9 yr old Ds loves the show and can now be found quite often covered in flour

I wonder what that could be Philomena. :o

Yy,Captain

Certainly one of the more memorable webchats, for all the right reasons !

Thank you, Paul.

Please could you convince Mary and Mel and Sue to pop by ?

Thanks to SophieBMumsnet too.

Or would be better ?

Mel and Sue would be amazing.

Please MNHQ!

Cunk I saw that recipe online but it was prefaced by a quote from her book which expressed her disdain for doughnuts. I used Pauls recipe.

Anyway next I'm going to try cake doughnuts as I reckon that's closer to the fairground ones I love. Homer type drool, doughnuts!

That was fab apart from the "breast test". Concise answers quickly typed, getting through loads of questions. Better than when they arrive late and only answer the three easy questions that most easily plug their latest project!!

Milk chocolate digestive, though. I ask you.

rainbow I usually use the microwave oven.
draft free and out of the way. for warmth you can ad a cup of hot water.
or use the oven with the light on for warmth.

Has Paul got a book out then! great webchat, first I've participated in, think I'll take the credit

A book you say slithy ?
I didn't notice

Thank you mausmaus, I would have never have thought of the microwave.
I tried to post my Q earlier from phone and it just wouldn't have it until it had closed.

Thanks to everyone who joined the webchat today. Make sure you're following @mumsnetbookclub as we're about to run a twitter comp to win a signed copy of British Baking

I really want to go and see Paul on tour, but they are all really far from here :(

Why are my questions never answered, sob!!! I thought it was a good one too

I thought the competition was for those who joined in the webchat? Is the Twitter one separate?

Only just remembered about this, posted my question last night. I am so excited that HE ACTUALLY ANSWERED MY QUESTION ! So in fact, Paul Hollywood has spoken to me

Great webchat with the male judge. I don't believe they're not contacts though!

he has definately gone up in my estimation

i havent got twitter

Me neither Roger, I'll join you in a sulk.

I don't have twitter and header says 'everyone who joins the webchat'

Hey ho. Paul Hollywood spoke to me! Scream!
