Looks JUST like the picture, right?

It’s not a secret that I’m no cook.  Dinner in my world is some chicken.  Maybe some potato chips to go along with it and if karma is really flowing, I could add some mac & cheese. 

But I can make a mean pan of brownies (Betty Crocker Turtle are my favs 😉 ) and I do love to make appetizers.  I figure if I have friends over and make appetizers, at least 1 or 2 will be good and the other ones will just get pushed to the back of the table.

So, I found this new recipe for Pizza Pull Apart Bread.  Mac’s sister, brother-in-law and friends were coming for the weekend and it seemed like the perfect time to try it.  (Mac:  you’re fixing something you’ve never fixed before for company?  Me:  They’re not company, they’re family.  Besides, your brother-in-law will eat anything…).

I reviewed the recipe, got the ingredients, printed the recipe so I could follow it closely and then read it and did EXACTLY what the directions said to do.

Here’s what it was supposed to look like:

fail supposed to be

Doesn’t that look Fabulous!  I mean…LOOK at it!  Perfection…pizza stuff, warm bread, marinara sauce…What could POSSIBLY go wrong!

Well, I could try to fix it and do EXACTLY like the recipe said to do, that’s what.  Here’s what MINE looked like:

fail

Ummm, yeah.  Not quite.

Although if you dip those little crunchy brown pieces in the marinara, they aren’t too bad….and yes, my brother-in-law did eat quite a bit of it 😉

  1. Never ever make something new for company! I learned this the hard way years ago. Only tried and true for company

  2. Ha! Looks EXACTLY like how mine came out when I made this recipe. I blamed the pan, too. It was tasty, though, and it’ll be made again as it had been requested by the fam. ☺

  3. Don’t be to hard on yourself! Looks to me like it may have been your pans fault!! Seriously, if you used a bundt pan that wasn’t heavy or not of good quality, it cooked the bottom to fast and not the rest. Try a different bundt pan, like a stoneware or Nordic ware and reduce your oven temp by 25 degrees. I think you’ll be a hit the next time! 🙂
