Paul Hollywood

Paul Hollywood has said most people have the ingredients for baking forgotten about at the back of their cupboard.

Meet British baker Paul Hollywood, described as 'the George Clooney of baking' and judge on the CBS reality series 'The American Baking Competition,' premiering May 29. Here, admiring British fans introduce him to US audiences. Hollywood is also a judge on the UK version of the show, 'The Great British Bake Off.'

The American Baking Competition features 10 passionate home bakers competing for the title of best amateur baker in America. Each week, these bakers will compete in three unique challenges - "Signature Bake," "Technical Bake" and "Showstopper Bake." The contestant who out-bakes the rest is that week's "Star Baker," while the one whose creations fail to impress is eliminated.
