Bake Off Argentina, El Gran Pastelero

Bake Off Argentina, El gran pastelero is an Argentine television baking series based on the BBC baking competition The Great British Bake Off. The series first premiered on 8 April 2018 on the Telefe network with presenter Paula Chaves and judges Christophe Krywonis, Damián Betular and Pamela Villar.

Format

The programme operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-round baker from the contestants who are all amateurs, where in each episode the bakers are tasked with 2 different challenges; a signature bake and a technical bake. The bakes are critically examined by the judges who will then choose a "Baker of the week" and a baker that is eliminated from the competition. Twelve contestants were chosen for the first season.

Signature Challenge: This challenge is for the amateur bakers to show off their tried-and-tested recipes that are rustic and altogether home-made-looking.

Technical Challenge: This challenge shows who can follow instructions, but who also has the technical knowledge and experience to produce the finished product. The bakers are all given the same recipe and are not told beforehand what the challenge will be. The finished product is ranked from worst to best, with the judges not knowing who produced which.
