Channel 10’s MasterChef Australia, returns Wednesday with a yeast-heavy showdown that looks to test more than just baking skills. Service Challenge: Dough-Fest, airing at 7:30 PM AEST, finds the remaining contestants facing a garden-based challenge with a double dose of dough on the menu.
Teams will have just four hours to prove their mettle in an all-hands-on-deck service round—cooking up one savory and one sweet dish, both centered on, you guessed it, the pliable, glutinous star of the hour. This being MasterChef Australia, creativity points will likely weigh heavily alongside basic proofing techniques.
Now well into its seventeenth season, the series shows no signs of running out of culinary surprises. And while the “mystery box” may get more screen time, it’s the collaborative challenges that often reveal the most about how these aspiring chefs work under pressure. For seasoned viewers, expect familiar beats: last-minute scrambles, questionable plating decisions, and Jock Zonfrillo’s signature deadpan critiques.
“MasterChef Australia” airs Wednesday at 7:30 PM AEST on Channel 10.
