As holidays approach and family & friends gather to share delicious food, my blog gets a healthy uptick these last two months of the year. My entry on fixing an undercooked pie is popular as tiny disasters happen to one of America’s favorite desserts.

Welcome one and all! And thank you so much for visiting! If my blog helped save your undercooked pie from a runny fate, I’m so happy I could help. I LOVE pie!!! It’s disappointing when it doesn’t set and the crust soggy.

This year I accidentally undercooked pumpkin bread. It also benefitted from rebaking. I especially wanted to make sure that was cooked enough since it contained egg.

A few years ago I purchased a beautiful silicone bundt-style baking ring, and I finally tried it out. It molds bread or cake into a ring of pumpkins, pears, and leaves.

But the pumpkin bundt pan is HUGE and deep, so the pumpkin bread came out gooey in places. I should have toothpick tested it! I know… But I’d already given it extra time. And things happen… So just know, yes, you can put it back and bake it more. What’s worse than undercooked or overcooked pumpkin bread? Getting sick from raw dough. Don’t do that. Make sure it’s cooked enough.
