For the signature challenge, the bakers are required to make an Eastern European loaf called a povatica in two and half hours. It can be sweet or savory, and can be baked in any shape they would like, but is must have the signature swirl when cut. Beyond taste and texture, the judges are looking for a good ratio of bread to filling, with the filling being distinctive in appearance from the bread itself. The technical challenge is for the bakers to make twelve brioche à tête in two hours forty-five minutes. The extra challenge will be that the dough must be made by hand i.e. no electric mixers. The technical issues with this challenge are gauging the texture of the dough especially when the butter is worked in, and that the "tête" (head) should be applied in a way that it does not separate from the base either in the rise or the bake. And for the showstopper, they will be making a bread sculpture in four and a half hours, using at least two types of yeast leavened bread. Beyond the appearance and taste, the bakers have to choose breads that will be sturdy enough to be presented in three-dimensions, while also being wary that any enrichments to the dough, for coloration for example, does not compromise the dough itself.
