RJ: "I'm doing a bourbon pecan banana loaf."

Paul Hollywood: "And this is something you make a lot?"

RJ: "It's one of the first things I made when I got back to America from Japan. On leave, I was stationed in Masawa, Japan, for two years in the Air Force. That's actually where I found The Great British Bake off and started watching it there, and then once I got back, started baking."

RJ's banana pecan loaf was elevated with a dash of bourbon and a blonde chocolate ganache.

Paul Hollywood: "That looks like interesting flour. What have you got in there?"

RJ: "Plain flour, along with some oat flour. The oat flour adds a nice overall nuttiness and it also absorbs a bit more moisture."

Paul Hollywood: "You sound quite sciencey."

RJ: "Yeah, I have a tendency to be a bit of a nerd in everything I do in life."

Paul Hollywood: "When anybody eats your banana bread, specifically this one, what do they say?"

RJ: "They say, that is very good banana bread."
