On d-day theses teams will have eight hours to make several types of bread in the categories «bread of the world» (French baguettes, nutritional and health breads and bread typical of the candidate’s country of origin), «viennoiseries» (raised puff-dough, raised dough) and an «artistic arrangement». A buffet presentation will be laid out at the end of the events
