Ep 9. Patisserie Week - Semi-Final

The Great British Bake Off season 9 episode 9 is called "Patisserie Week - Semi-Final." The episode features the remaining four bakers continuing to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith in the race to win the coveted title of Britain's best amateur baker.

In the signature challenge, the bakers must create 24 choux pastry buns in two different flavors with perfectly uniform shapes and sizes. The judges are impressed by the creativity displayed by the bakers, who experiment with flavors ranging from rosewater and raspberry to chocolate and orange.

Next up is the technical challenge, which sees the bakers tasked with recreating Prue's notoriously difficult recipe for the French classic, les fougasses. With layers of buttery pastry and a filling of chocolate and hazelnuts, this challenge really puts the bakers' technical skills to the test.

Finally, it's the showstopper challenge where the bakers must create a complex, multi-layered entremet that includes a perfectly tempered chocolate collar. The pressure is on as the bakers strive to impress the judges with their artistry and technical skills.
