Paul Hollywood Shares His Go-To Baking Recipes
Updated on January 8, 2024
Known as one of the best in the business, anyone who bakes will likely know who Paul Hollywood is. The longtime judge on the Great British Baking Show is back for season five, and he’s just released his new book, aptly titled: Bake: My Best Ever Recipes. The book is filled with classic go-tos like Chocolate Fudge Cake and Paul’s famous sourdough recipe. Good news — we’re sharing a sneak peek of some of our favorites!
Scroll down to see three of the baking recipes that Paul Hollywood swears by!
Victoria Sandwich
This classic British dessert is really quite simple. You can add all of the ingredients at once, pop it into the oven and then add some jam! Paul also suggests adding whipped cream on top if you’re feeling indulgent.

The Ultimate Focaccia
Once you’ve made the dough, there are so many different ways to dress up this bread. In this recipe, Paul suggests using tomatoes, olives, onions and lots of olive oil to keep it interesting.

Chouxnuts
A mixture between a doughnut and choux pastry, this recipe is the biggest challenge of the three. But once you’ve finished the deep-fried dough, lemon curd filling and lemony icing on top, you’ll know it was worth the effort.
