bread that I try to make I have even set
2:09
in from the oven watching and testing it
2:11
I almost
2:13
still overbake it haha my second
2:18
question is what is the best side dish
2:20
to bring to a family gathering that will
2:24
need to travel in a car for about an
2:26
hour my last question is what is your
2:29
favorite recipe to make for a weeknight
2:31
meal hmm well Angela I hope I can get
2:36
you on the phone we gonna have a long
2:38
conversation if I do well Angela hey
3:03
it's Paul and I'm so disappointed that
3:05
you didn't answer your question I mean
3:10
that you didn't answer your phone
3:11
sorry because I was gonna answer your
3:14
questions or try to but you didn't pick
3:18
up so you'll just have to watch this
3:20
podcast to see the answers to your
3:22
questions sorry I missed you girl have a
3:26
great day okay my first question is what
3:31
is the secret to not over baking cakes
3:33
and breads well it looks like she's
3:35
doing it because she said I've even sat
3:37
in front of an oven watching and testing
3:39
it and I will still over bake it well I
3:43
was gonna suggest that that you do that
3:45
but that's not seem to be helping you
3:50
you do just have to keep a close eye on
3:56
things like that and and you need to put
4:00
a thermometer in your oven and make sure
4:06
it's calibrated correctly because it
4:09
could be you thinking you're baking it
4:11
at 350 it could be 375 and that could be
4:15
the reason you're over baking it your
4:19
second question is what is the best side
4:20
dish to bring to a family gathering that
4:22
will need to travel in a car for an hour
4:25

4:28
good recipes oh that will carry macaroni
4:33
and cheese
4:34
I made a broccoli casserole Sunday night
4:37
for all my children here and it was
4:41
delicious it'll travel well a good pasta
4:45
salad
4:46
that you don't have to worry about
4:49
heating up when you get there a good
4:51
potato salad or chicken salad any of
4:54
those would be all right for an hour and
4:56
wouldn't require further bacon let's see
5:01
what else a nice cheese and fruit tray
5:04
is great hold for an hour there's so
5:10
many things honey get out and get my
5:11
cooking start to looking because you
5:14
there's lots of good dishes and I'm sure
5:17
you'll pick a good one

7:55
what do we bake our bread on the light
7:58
yeah we we bake our bread on the light
8:02
okay what have you been cooking it on
8:13
okay well let's lower it and figure out
8:16
now on your cake baking and I told you
8:21
that you need to put a thermometer in
8:23
your oven and make sure it's calibrated
8:26
correctly because while you're baking it
8:28
350 it might be 375 in your oven would
8:33
cause you to over bake so all you need
8:35
is an oven thermometer and you're gonna
8:38
check it out so if if on 350 its 375 you
8:43
would know to lower your temperature to
8:45
325 okay all right but yes and as soon
8:53
as they start pulling away from the
8:54
sides they are done but I always touch
8:59
the center of mine and if there's any
9:01
give you know then it needs a couple
9:04
more minutes but let me tell you how to
9:06
fix an over bake cake okay I take like a
9:11
cup of water and I don't know how much
9:15
sugar maybe a half a cup of sugar and I
9:18
get that hot and I stir it until the
9:22
sugar melts and then I lay my cake
9:26
layers out and I Pierce them with with a
9:30
fork or something like that or that the
9:34
handle on a wooden spoon you know it's
9:37
good and then I just brushed that simple
9:41
syrup over all of them and that way that
9:44
will put moisture back in your cakes how
9:50
I like you have over bake the cake a
9:53
time or two
9:56
well unless are you stealing Costco oh
10:02
