Ilyin has taken a leaf out of mum's recipe book.

Illyin: "I am making a Jamaican coconut bun. My mum used to make this for us. It's like an enriched dough made with coconut milk. It's not exactly good for the waistline, but great for joy."

Voice-over: "Ilyin's cocoa buns will be filled with Jamaican brown stewed chicken and topped with spiced, crispy chicken skin."

Sumayah: "So I'm making a milk bread stuffed with a spice chicken filling. I'm going to shape them to look like sunflowers."

Voice-over: "Maya's sunflowers will be glazed with a yellow turmeric oil and filled with a bangladeshi chicken curry."

Andy: " The inspiration behind this is for my daughter. So once upon a time, I was making bread. I was looking for chorizo. I didn't have any in the fridge, so I was raiding through and found one of those favorite little salami treats, sitting there looking at me and I thought, oh, happy days. I'll use them."

Voice-over: "Maisie's chopped salami sticks will be folded into Andy's dough, along with cheddar cheese and chives."

Prue Leith: "I like the idea of the flavors. It's all about getting the texture on the bread as well as getting the flavor through in every bite, which is the key thing."

John: "So I'm making an oregano pesto inspired by lots of holidays to Greece."

Voice-over: "John is hoping his pesto, red onion, and feta stuffed buns will be enough to impress Paul today."

 Mike: "So this lamb is from our farm at home, and then I'm adding soy sauce, cumin, five spice. My partner and I, we love Asian fusion food, so it just reminds me of Matt." 

Voice-over: "Mike's bao buns will be a clash of Asian spices and traditional Sunday roast flavors. I've got rosemary in the mincemeat and rosemary and mint from the garden."

Gill: "I'm making my mustard drizzle, which is also known as mustard custard. Mustard custard."

Jill's tangy mustard custard will be drizzled over the top of her black pudding, chorizo, and goats cheese savoury. Chelsea bun.

Nelly: "I'm coming from Slovakia, from Europe. My husband's Asian, Pakistani. We have different cultures, so we kind of mix it. So the filling for my savoury buns is very Pakistani and the dough is Slovakian. And we are the perfect match."

Voice-over: "Nelly's celebration of her marriage will see her Slovakian milk bread filled with husband Chan's favourite veggie curry before being rolled and cut into triangles."

"Triangles?"

Nelly: "Yes. You roll the whole pastry, you fill it in, roll it. Then you cut in triangles"

 Voice-over: "Are you using egg wash on the top?"

Nelly: "Yes, and a little bit just to make it a bit pretty."

"Georgie is packing her Chelsea buns with the flavors of Italy." 

Georgie: "So this is my pesto. In here, there is wild garlic, basil, pine nuts, and parmesan cheese and normal garlic as well."

Voice-over: "Alongside her garlic packed pesto, Georgie will fill her Chelsea bun style rolls with sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella."

Dylan: "My dough's flavoured with gochugang, which is a korean fermented chilli paste. It's a very pungent chili paste. That gives the dough a really nice orange color as well."

Voice-over: "As well as his fermented chili paste, Dylan will run confit of garlic throughout the dough of his buns, which, although simple, he is hoping will prove he has what it takes to forge a career in the kitchen."

Voice-over: "Christiaan's knotted plaits will be made up of an infused mushroom dough, hazelnut sage and truffle oil pesto. And for an extra umami kick, some porcini mushrooms." 

Prue Leith: "The only thing that worries me is you've got porcini and truffle" 

Christiaan: "Yeah. I've never put the two together. I love mushroom."

Paul Hollywood: "You're a bit of a 'fun-ghi', basically."
