Welcome to the Baking Challenge Archive!

Since 2017, our monthly Baking Challenges have brought home bakers from around the globe to learn, bake, and share delicious recipes.

Explore the recipes that our incredible baking community has tackled below. While the challenges are currently on hiatus, I hope this archive inspires you to try something new or revisit an old favorite!
