I feel like Mike was at his grumpiest and sassiest this battle. Maybe a long week and the splitting of the sauce was just too much? Mind you, it was hilarious and his ribbing was on point. I wanted to pat him on the head and tell him to take a break, but I was also laughing my ass off. X)
This video has so many iconic parts to it- •mike being salty about cheese soup •Barry’s shirt •marinate for a few hours or overnight •10 minutes! •it’s important to cook out the flour! •garrrrnish •the boxing ring •mike forgetting the garlic •cancetta pubes •Ishkababgen!
As someone who's IMMENSELY passionate about and invested in bread (German cliché, but so true!)... this video makes me very, very happy. Bread makes me happy. Although I'm still getting used to the 'fill soup into bread' way of eating. I'm more the 'dip bread into soup' person. :D
marwolaethgwyn being overly passionate about bread is one of the only German stereotypes that I fulfill and truly embrace. But I prefer whole grain or rye bread.
marwolaethgwyn I'm glad they covered something you really enjoy. What's your favourite kind of bread? Is it the same as your favourite kind of bread to make, and if not, what is?
marwolaethgwyn, I completely agree. I grew up in Germany, but moved to the US as a teenager. I still miss the bread. I once wrote a college admissions essay on how awesome the end pieces of a loaf of bread are...so much crunchy crust...mmmm...lecker!
Salt and pepper no matter what. Be generous with it. I love garlic with everything or chilli powder on everything. of it's a pasta, use italian seasonings. if it's texmex food, lots of cumin. Good luck!
Oh my gosh, of COURSE! It all makes sense, now. I was so confused that he was so upset, since they are all basically bread bowls...but you are right, he doesn't like cheese! LOL. Well played, James!
As someone who has been working on improving his ability to make dough (ingredients, ratios, proofing time), I think Ben and James really let the guys off with it being pre-made.
i loved this, but i think another bread battle should be done! They basically all had bread stuffed with something but bread is so versatile there could be so much more! more bread battles!
4:17 - I do Mike!!! I do notice it! Every week, I see the ring and think such a cute idea and why nobody else ever mentions it but I never do either. Anyways, love you boys😘
If Barry was here, he would back me up on this! Hahaha oh, all the good jokes being made at Barry's expense, and he's not even there, that's real low guys!
It's a bread battle where the bread is made ahead of time and the recipes use the bread, but it's not the focus of the recipe. You could cook apple pie filling, chicken or soup and not have the bread. The bread is relegated to bowls.
I'm sure James' bread is fantastic and his recipes for the fillings are great too. It just feels like you're judging the guys on filling and whether or not they can follow instructions on how long to bake the loaves.
SChappellaz I'd agree but you have to consider the fact that bread making can be quite challenging especially for novices. It's also quite boring from a video production standpoint since most of the time is going to be spent in proofing. However I think it would be more interesting if they showed some bread making techniques such as shaping a baguette or something.
Or they could have chosen other types of bread to make (for example a naan) to showcase other forms and techniques (like you mentioned shaping a baguette).
You must be mistaken, Barry wasn't in this video. At the time you commented there's nothing happening, strange that they would keep an empty scene in the final cut.
This has nothing to do with bread but I just freakin love Barry's hair! I think I've posted a few comments and tweeted about it but i dont care because IT LOOKS AMAZING AND DESERVES RECOGNITION FOR ITS BEAUTY
On the one hand...Barry was not in the video which was quite sad. On the other ishkebabegan is to funny not to make fun of. I'm torn! Was Barry there or wasn't he?!
I've already seen this video but I watched it again and 10/10 did not regret. The entirety of minute 3 is hilarious. Or I guess it's the 4th minute, but you know, from 3:00 to 4:00.
OMG Jamie's looked amazing! I really wanted to try Barry's apple filled buns. But this week's sassy pants award goes to: Mike....for his constant and hilarious digs at both Barry as well as James.
I noticed the rope during the Chef Ultimate Battle (Fast Food) because it was mentioned in dialogue. I think it's a nice touch. Especially after last night.
Hey, why was it called a "bread battle" but the bread was already made for them? This was more like a "follow a recipe which slightly involves bread but isn't actually necessary to the recipe battle"
Bread take awhile to get started partially because you have to let the dough sit for awhile. That probably why they had the dough premade. I used to work at a restaurant and all the bread dough had to be made a day or so before it was going to be used.
That flour - based limerick was on point, man 👌 Also, I have watched the recent episodes and just started going back to the older ones, and Barry's hair alarmed me for a minute.
when i vote in these ultimate battles, i go for what i would most likely order, but all of you and your recipes are honestly so so good and worthy of winning ☆
It's because of videos like this that inspires me to believe that anyone can cook! :D Really enjoyed this and the freshly baked breads looks so delicious
Really love the idea of this battle. I give Mike a brownie point for starting over. He wasn't going to do it half-assed. Even with the garlic later, he owned up the error. Also, his is the only dish I want to try.
Legitimately had never noticed the rope. I don't think it's ever been a focal point. Anywho, your cheese soup looked great, Mike! You should get a point just for doing it twice over.
It's been five years since this battle, but whenever I make a roux, I still chant, "It's important to cook out the flour. It's important to cook out the flour. I don't know why, but in the past I haven't done it, so it's important to cook out the flour."
It's kind of weird not having Barry in this video, the battles are usually all three, too bad only Mike and Jamie were here
😂😂😂
I swear i heard his voice in this vid
Lilliana Rose Elizabeth was it just me that saw bowls floating in the air? I think their studio might be haunted.
Why do people hate on Camo prints when Animal prints exist?
Took me a while to realize
I love how James so passive-aggressively gave Mike the cheese soup👌🏻😂
It's everyone's job to bring the chef's vision to life. Chef's privilege to create the menus. 😉
“I made it into the intro!” So cute. James is such a sweetie
They go bread to bread to bread
+Vinal Chaudhary Lololol
SORTEDfood holy shit you guys responded!
I bet you've been noticed by pun master Mike :3
Alice Lolita he's my favorite
Can you prove that it was Mike, dough? Would he rise to the occasion for one bread pun? I would have put at yeast two in there.
"It's important to cook out the flour. I don't know why but in the past I haven't done it it's important to cook out the flour" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"if Barry was here he would back me up on this" 🤣 👏👏👏

Chelsea P also he doesn't not like cheese at all, might be why he is grumpy
@@oskarelysee9076 Cheese AND Celery. James really had it out for him for not helping him with that recipe ahah
This video has so many iconic parts to it-
•mike being salty about cheese soup
•Barry’s shirt
•marinate for a few hours or overnight
•10 minutes!
•it’s important to cook out the flour!
•garrrrnish
•the boxing ring
•mike forgetting the garlic
•cancetta pubes
•Ishkababgen!
I actually spat when Mike said garrnishh
It's a meaty garnish. :D
My favorite part was where Mike got so mad he changed accents.
Haha. Yeah, that was so weird to hear!
I just rewound that part three times just to keep hearing it!!!
6:42 haha
He sounded a lot like Phil from Time Team when he said "garnish".
He channel James
I wish barry was there...he would win
poornima krishnan yeah, wonder where he was?
@@hellothere9791 probably looking for a shirt to wear

I don't even know if that cliché applies to Swiss people as well but this makes me really happy as well!

Same Friend. Same.
I never noticed the boxing ring, at least not till Mike mentioned it
Rads ical Same
Same, I have seen the rope there before, but never even did that make it look like a boxing ring for me, sorry guys.
I knew those are meant as a décor for their cooking battles.
Guys, I think it would be really helpful to have a spice segment! I don't have a clue what to do with some of the spices in my spice cabinet
Kaitlyn Martin odds are you throw it on food
Salt and pepper no matter what. Be generous with it. I love garlic with everything or chilli powder on everything. of it's a pasta, use italian seasonings. if it's texmex food, lots of cumin. Good luck!
For those that don't know, Mike hates cheese thats why hes salty about getting cheese soup :D
Gaia Ang it was a pretty gouda decision on James's end
Oh my gosh, of COURSE! It all makes sense, now. I was so confused that he was so upset, since they are all basically bread bowls...but you are right, he doesn't like cheese! LOL. Well played, James!
AND he has history with bechamel.
The best part is he fully knows he got that recipe as punishment for not following instructions and giving feedback.
He also has a history with celery that I don't know about
5:29 MY GOD JAMIE, MY AD COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE PERFECTLY TIMED!!!!!
Word of the day: Ishkebabegan ?
😂😂
Love it!
I honestly want to know what he was saying, it's been really annoying me... I can't even break down the syllables into anything coherent!!
Laura Norda I think he's saying in the bag then?
I kind of thought it was "he's come back again!"... dude needs to enunciate.
3:54 Cancetta Pubes.
That is all.
As someone who has been working on improving his ability to make dough (ingredients, ratios, proofing time), I think Ben and James really let the guys off with it being pre-made.
Agreed
You would think they'd make the actual battle item.
“Thats my garnish” 🇺🇸 Barry would have loved that joke if he were there he would have also loved that Caspar was eating mikes garnish 😂
i loved this, but i think another bread battle should be done! They basically all had bread stuffed with something but bread is so versatile there could be so much more! more bread battles!
4:17 - I do Mike!!! I do notice it! Every week, I see the ring and think such a cute idea and why nobody else ever mentions it but I never do either. Anyways, love you boys😘
that sneaky ad in the middle i'm upset that was so clever
Been rewatching all the old battles and I love how salty Mike was throughout this whole video 🤣🤣🤣
Petition for Barry to do a bread tapping ASMR video^^
CAN BARRY PLEASE TRANSLATE ISHKEBABEGAN??????? I KEEP REPEATING THAT PART AND ALL I CAN DO IS LAUGH
OMG same!
It's / he's come back again. As far as I can translate from gibberish.
When Mike was gloating about all the laydees marvelling at his loaf at 8:59 I just wanted to poke his exposed belly button teehee ^_^
I feel like we all noticed the ring, but in comparison to the food, it wasn't worthy of a comment. 😂
I like these kind of battles: where the boys make a starter (cheese soup), a main (butter chicken in naan), and a dessert (apple buns)
We're glad you enjoyed the vid!
I swear mike puts saffron in everything.
Harry li I just watched another battle where he made saffron mayo.either he makes a sandwich or uses saffron lol
hes a flowery boy
If Barry was here, he would back me up on this!
Hahaha oh, all the good jokes being made at Barry's expense, and he's not even there, that's real low guys!
I mean, it looks great, but I feel like the bread was an afterthought rather than the star of the show.
“I’ve made it into the intro” XD
Oh James.
I'm here 3 years later and still burst out in laughter during ISHKEBABEGAN 😂
Ben's face when Barry's floating head said "ishkebabegan"😂😂
I love that 2 years later, in the ultimate fusion cooking battle, Jamie continues to chop every vegetable in England
WHAT IS MIKE'S HISTORY WITH CELERY???
It's long and complicated and painful
SORTEDfood I still want to hear it!
SORTEDfood Same.
A celery killed his family 😂
Celery is gross and soapy and can only be enjoyed in medicinal quantities - I´m going to guess it´s genetic like the coriander thing.
Just because Jamie said "I don't think I'll ever rub oil on cling film again" you should revisit this battle
A BOXING RING! HOW COOL!
(this is me mentioning it in the comments)
In South Africa, they call the curry in a loaf : Bunny Chow and it's delish . Well done Jamie !
It's a bread battle where the bread is made ahead of time and the recipes use the bread, but it's not the focus of the recipe. You could cook apple pie filling, chicken or soup and not have the bread. The bread is relegated to bowls.

Zhiyuan Xu butt they can cut out the proofing or fast forward it
Or they could have chosen other types of bread to make (for example a naan) to showcase other forms and techniques (like you mentioned shaping a baguette).
SChappellaz making bread is boring as fuck though
I'm rewatching old ultimate battles and basically can't stop laughing, you guys are hilarious. also how did I forget barry's hair looking like that??
James made it into the intro but still remains unnamed :'(
I am so hungover right now and I just want to thank you for this. Bread. Bread is what I need rn. I'm dying in bed but bread will help me through❤
Melissa Mavroudis Stephens a year later and I’m in the exact same position...😂
can we have James' week,please?^^
What on earth does Barry say at 1:40? It descends into mumbling!
tomtucjr something about wearing a camouflage shirt because he doesn't have any others / others are in the wash
tomtucjr I think he said he didn't want to wear the shirt but it was the only one that was ironed, the others weren't ironed
tomtucjr yup - he didn't want to wear it, but it was the only ironed shirt ^^
You must be mistaken, Barry wasn't in this video. At the time you commented there's nothing happening, strange that they would keep an empty scene in the final cut.
This has nothing to do with bread but I just freakin love Barry's hair! I think I've posted a few comments and tweeted about it but i dont care because IT LOOKS AMAZING AND DESERVES RECOGNITION FOR ITS BEAUTY
Love the way after Jamie gave us a little break and an ad played straight after
can we have James week
This episode is HILARIOUS! You guys are definitely the king of puns. Sad that Barry wasn't there though.
But all em buns look amaaaaazing 😍
We need to revisit this battle but the boys need to make the bread themselves this time!!
3:54 after 3 years, I finally got the joke from 3:25
GET JAMES IN MORE INTROS PLS
This was the funniest video you guys have done recently
On the one hand...Barry was not in the video which was quite sad. On the other ishkebabegan is to funny not to make fun of. I'm torn! Was Barry there or wasn't he?!
I've already seen this video but I watched it again and 10/10 did not regret. The entirety of minute 3 is hilarious. Or I guess it's the 4th minute, but you know, from 3:00 to 4:00.
Did they put the "Cancetta Pubes" into the edit on purpose or not? Hmmmm...
It took me a year + to catch that...
In South Africa we call that curry bread bowl a "bunny chow", it's one of the most popular Indian takeout dishes here, certainly one of my favourites!
That advertisement transition in the middle was magical, to say the least.
I have ALWAYS noticed the boxing ring rope, and absolutely love it! It's a little subtle extra to make the battle more intense hehe
I just wanted Barry to egg wash those buns! Then they would have been so shiny and nice.
Everyone is so sweet and pure and I love this group and these videos so much. Thank you and please keep making more 😁
00:08 Where was the poll? Did I miss the poll? I didn't see the pole. :(
OMG Jamie's looked amazing! I really wanted to try Barry's apple filled buns. But this week's sassy pants award goes to: Mike....for his constant and hilarious digs at both Barry as well as James.
Its nice seeing james more
I'm never going to lose an ounce watching these fellows... ALWAYS leave me hungry for something yummy!
That midroll worked perfectly and made me very happy
That midroll ad bit was perfectly timed. I’ve never seen another video take advantage of that
I think barry said : "yes, i'm back again"
I speak gibberish myself
I noticed the rope during the Chef Ultimate Battle (Fast Food) because it was mentioned in dialogue. I think it's a nice touch. Especially after last night.
Barry doesn't look happy when he's eating his own apple bread bowl... he looks like he doesn't like it😂
Hannah Plas same exact thoughts!
Idk what you mean, Barry wasn't in this video??
tishi3003 that should be comment of the week!
You guys are my entertainment! Love you! Love the food! Love the laughs!

Jamie is getting up there as far as skill and how he delivers his recipes are concerned!
Curry and Bread (Usually it's Naan), hard to beat!
Head to head to head...
head to head to floating head, this time around
Comments: Sadly, Barry isn't here with us.
Barry: Ishebabekin!!
Comments: Sometimes we can still hear his voice.
“find out after this midroll” *midroll plays* ...he’s sentient...
That flour - based limerick was on point, man 👌
Also, I have watched the recent episodes and just started going back to the older ones, and Barry's hair alarmed me for a minute.
How long does it have to marinate? Didn't quite catch it...
Rewatching all the food battle videos during quarantine...what the heck is Barry's hair? Was he trying to start a boy band lol
"Where's Barry" 😂😂
I love these boys so much and their relationship is so adorable 😂 never fail to make me laugh
so did Barry leave sorted or what happened?
when i vote in these ultimate battles, i go for what i would most likely order, but all of you and your recipes are honestly so so good and worthy of winning ☆
You turned your kitchen into a boxing ring?!?!?!?!?!
It's because of videos like this that inspires me to believe that anyone can cook! :D Really enjoyed this and the freshly baked breads looks so delicious
Wow... It's not Mike's day is it
😂
You can tell your all friends you all get on and have a laugh with each other
harry potter and the prisoners of ISHEBABEKIN ???
what the fyck guys im funny??? LIKE THIS
😂😂😂
Nailed it!! 😂😂😂😂
A very underrated comment! Deserves much more!
DYINGGGG
Bread is love. Bread is life. Carby goodness
Welcome to the Great Sorted Bake Off where Ben Berry and James Hollywood will judge three long life mates, but ultimately you decide who's better.
Aww I love James and how he's become a constant now
HOLD UP! Everyone pause at 11:33x IS THAT A HICKEY?! James you naughty boy
Flyxter looks like a pimple tbh
I guessed boil.
I thought it was just a pimple, but then I realized he doesn't have acne.
Flyxter I
Well he does have a partner lol
Really love the idea of this battle. I give Mike a brownie point for starting over. He wasn't going to do it half-assed. Even with the garlic later, he owned up the error. Also, his is the only dish I want to try.
Ishkebabegan.
wtf was that tho
Legitimately had never noticed the rope. I don't think it's ever been a focal point. Anywho, your cheese soup looked great, Mike! You should get a point just for doing it twice over.

Barry's definitely let the bread shine in a -bread battle-
Um is.. Is Mike okay? 😳
Answer in short: NO
7:14 - That's it, Jamie is not welcome overnight, squeezing tubes in the middle! That would grant you multiple shocks at highest setting.
