About the baker
A little more of the person behind the handshake.
Luis Troyano was a series 5 finalist celebrated for inventive bread and a generous, warm presence in the tent. His “Opposites Attract” rye rolls earned a handshake, and he later shared his baking knowledge through teaching and his book Bake It Great. Luis died in 2020, aged 48.
Luis Troyano baked on 5 (2014) of The Great British Bake Off. One Hollywood handshake is on file: 12 “Opposites Attract” rye rolls, Signature (3 / Bread).
Remembered with affection as a creative bread baker and beloved Bake Off alumnus.
