Theodora Smallfield won $50,000 in the first Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest in 1949. Smallfield wrapped a tea towel around the dough to make her “No-Knead Water-Rising Twists.” The first contest was a big deal–Eleanor Roosevelt handed out the awards at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria hotel. The contest happened every year until 1976, when its frequency changed to once every two years. Fast-forward to the most recent Bake-Off contest in 2014, when Virginia's Beth Royals won $1 million for her recipe for Peanutty Pie Crust Clusters.
