American here...just had to share with you that I was at the supermarket in Manchester and yelled out "Beans!" when I saw the Heinz selection. Your reach as influencers has reached across the pond!
Hey, Bob. If you are using a soft spread for pastry, it helps if you freeze the spread first and grate it into the flour. Keeping everything as cold as possible, including your hands, always helps in making good pastry I find. Resting the dough helps the gluten to form and makes it less likely to crack when you roll it.
You can chill the water with a few cubes of ice. When you are adding it, only do a few tablespoons at a time. The goal is to use as little water as possible to make the dough come together. Lastly, let the pastry get really chilled. The science behind it is that when the cold butter/oleo/spread begins to melt it creates air pockets that will give your dough lift and cause it to be tender/flaky. Awesome job for a first go!
Hello family. LOVED THIS VIDEO. So fun! A couple things to keep rising… sausages are such a wonderful idea. Try adding a tiny bit of sage and fennel seed. Love you JoJo. You are so creative. Boba, pastry is made by crumble in flour so that when it hits heat, they explode and make it flaky. Try using All Veg Crisco and ALWAYS have all things super cold otherwise it won’t make layers. It will just all mix together like a cookie dough. Roll in half putting water or milk to “glue” the edge then use fork. The part you missed was to put knife slats on top for vents so when bubbling has somewhere to let heat out. I am so proud of you all. That was great!! I love how creative you all are. You make my day each video! God bless you all. Keep it up ❤
Oh Jo Jo, my heart sunk when I saw you put the potatoes in the blender. Allay drain your potatoes a put them back in the pot and add your milk and mash by hand or use a hand mixer. This is how we all get better in the kitchen, learning from our mistakes. I love seeing you cook. 😊
He really is! That idea for the mushroom sausages was inspired. It’s wonderful that his parents are teaching him cooking as part of his homeschooling curriculum, as it’s such a valuable life skill.
Just completed a stressful week at work and in 30 minutes you guys have put a smile on my face. Love your videos. Food looked awesome, could have eaten all 3!
😊Me and my youngest really enjoy watching your family vids together and these challenges are so fun. An idea that maybe you could try combining Jo Jo's sausage recipe with Bob's pastry and make a sausage pasty. Anyway great vid as always and truly appreciate a genuine experience of real family living🌌🙏💝💫🕊🌸
Hey, thanks for your comment! It's lovely to hear that you both enjoy our videos 😊 That's a great idea about combining JoJo's sausage recipe and the pastry, we'll have to try that another time!! 😃
You guys are so creative! I get so many ideas when you do these kinds of challenges! And you always surprise me! In America, flapjacks are another name for pancakes--often in the southern part of the country. And I have a friend who is a pastry chef. Her program focus was mostly on elaborate cakes with fancy decorations. Thank you for always entertaining me and keeping it real❤
Wonderful video as always you all rise to the challenge with delicious inspirations. Congrats Jojo 🏆 you have an eye for fine dining plating. It looked so beautiful and those sausages were the chef's kiss, well done 😋🤗
Hi family freedom hope you are well and having a good day! Great video! I have never seen anyone make mash potato in a blender before!😂 I was so surprised. Also in poundland I saw a reusable shopping bag but no any old one it was a beansss one! I thought you guys would love that! Take care Just keep rising 🌻🌿💚
JoJo wins! Top Tip for lovely smooth mash that doesn't turn to a paste (like it does in a blender) use an electric whisk instead. Also, for a sausage skin, use rice paper, wetted and rolled around the sausage. AND, if you are using cheap bread for breadcrumbs, you get a lovely texture if you toast the slices befor putting them in the processor.
@tonycasey3183 I use an electric whisk when I mash my potatoes. I found the processor made them too smooth. I like the idea of wrapping the sausages in wet rice paper. If ever I make sausages I'll try it
Its amazing what meals you can create from just the basics of everyday foods. You don't need the top name brands to work with as you have proved..well done 😊
I really like these cooking videos. I often make what I call fridge-dregs meals with whatever is left at the end of the week and your videos are quite the inspiration. JoJo's addition of mint sauce is going in to my next mushroom bangers - I use similar seasonings, but with onion and sage added, but I am definitely switching the sage with mint sauce next time.
Well done jo jo 👏.. tip for bob if you make pastys again to stop them bursting put a small hole or a cross in the top of the pasty it will allow the steam to escape and stop them bursting 😊.
Really like your cooking vlogs.Thought those granola peach bars looked delicious, really liked the look of the lunch. The dinner looked tasty. Jo Jo was a winner because the sausages were a great idea. I was always told when making pastry always do half fat to flour xx
Off I pop to make Jojo sausages, they look amazing and as you know you've converted me but mint sauce.. omgosh. I've never thought of it until Jojo! You little (not so little Man) are a hero! ❤💚❤️
Please make a full video of Katie long hair ponytail and single braiding by Jojo. And also her current hair length regrowth measurement update since her haircut by him
For the pastry.... You could've use water to seal the edges, before fork pressing it, and poke hole in the top of the pastry to prevent the the leakage of the filling
I have to say bob and katie you have brought jojo up to be a very polite and well mannered young man and what's better is he can cook I have a partner who is 40 and has never cooked a meal for me in the 16 years we have been together
I love these videos i made a new account but been a fan since 2018 when you went to Alton towers and when Jojo use to be only 7 and When Katie has Unicorn hair this channel inspires me so much been a fan for so long I use to watch when I was young I grown up but still enjoys the vlogs especially at Halloween and Christmas I can’t wait to watch
Aw thanks so much for your lovely comment, and for being with us on this journey for so long! 😊 We're glad that you still enjoy the videos and we hope that they can keep inspiring you! 💚
My name is julie im from Ballymena in Northern Ireland I suffer from ibs and anxiety and depression Your vlogs really cheer me up They are amazing Love your family xx
Hey Bob. For the most amazing pastry, 6tbsp cold water, 6tbsp of butter or alternative (make sure it doesn’t have a high water content) 1 1/2 cups of plain flour, 2tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt.
Love these cooking videos, each meal looked so yummy and you all did so well with the ideas you came out with with the ingredients you had. Props to Bob for his own pastry making and jojos sausages💚 #freegang #livebutnotlive
Another awesome video and Asda is a store I haven't been to for a while. Always good to see JoJo and good meals using only Essential products. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕all the family, live not live from Sunny ☀️ Scotland and it was kind of Katie to give away the Vitamix Blender to a friend.
Love this video as I was wondering what food u made from your shopping ps use milk to Seal your pastry Cornish, pastas or water.And then press them together❤🎉❤
Jojo with the mash you could have added couple more potatoes to thicken it but next time don't add water till after the potatoes have been blitzed and add only a table spoon water at a time as needed
For savoury pastry you need half Lard half butter. There are many, many types of pastries. My Father was a pastry chef. Although I never was taught by him, I think it’s in the genes! 😀👍👍👍
Looking forward to watching this video and seeing what you all make:)) Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend and you’re all doing well, how’s Sam? We’ve not seen him for a while. Hope the move is going well for Jamie, also hope JoJo is all good too. Xxx
Pastry- pleasa weigh rather than cups. It is just half fat to flour and as little water as possible. Freeze the soread it wont harden enough inthe fridge. Now you have sussed out pastry you can make all sorts of things (maybe look up the rubbing in method)😊
Hi Family Freedom I always follow u and have finally subscribed as I kept forgetting to subscribe I think you are all Awsome and the recepies and food all look so yummy I am not a vegan but wow always looks so amazing I’d be happy to eat meals like that and love ur budget shopping challenges am from Kent thanks
Jojo you definitely need to be a chef mate the fine dining food you do and I love you all loads and all your meals look amazing and please be proud the way you have brought jojo up is amazing young lad jojo I would have paid good money
Hi I buy puff pastry to make thing like sausage rolls but before you fold the pastry over brush with milk and seal it the fork round the edges and brush the top with milk it gives it a nice colour hope this helps meals looks lovely 🐝🧵🐝
Hey Guys!! Your food looks amazing and is inspiring, Im still not working and have been enjoying the back Catalogue Can you please help me tho, Ive been in Limbo for Days after watching "He Lied" Video but Cannot find the following one! Where did Bob Take Katie? I need the Airport reveal 😂❤

Hi Bob , you can make pastry wrapped in cling and freeze . Also use water round the edges of pastry to seal it together xx
Thanks for the tip Karen! 😊

We're glad that we make you smile Andrea! 😊
Your husband’s dinner looked so amazing !! 🎉🎉🎉 great job everyone
Thank you!! 🤩
I seal my pastry with water. Just a slight bit. Then come in with the sealing of the fork. This could help you with it. ❤️
JoJo wins!

Wow Jo Jo! What a beautiful presentation of food! ❤

Hello Freedom Family. I love to watch the videos of you shopping and cooking.
the cooking is so good... hungry now
Really like your cooking vlogs.Thought those granola peach bars looked delicious, really liked the look of the lunch. The dinner looked tasty. Jo Jo was a winner because
the sausages were a great idea. I was always told when making pastry always do half fat to flour xx
Great idea for a video, Bob was definitely a winner in my eyes, his yorkies! Great effort from the whole team though
Thanks Joanne!
Hiya , bob , katie & jojo , brilliant video , all the food looked amazing❤❤❤
Off I pop to make Jojo sausages, they look amazing and as you know you've converted me but mint sauce.. omgosh. I've never thought of it until Jojo! You little (not so little Man) are a hero! ❤💚❤️
Thanks so much Becks! 😃
@@FamilyFreedom you're so welcome, I wish I could post pics xx
Jojo wins, he seriously has talent 👏👏🧑🍳
Such a fun video!! I got worried at the start of the ad with bob sitting next to the toilet saying there's one thing we always do after a meal 😅
😂😂😂😂
Really enjoy your videos. I also think you should be proud of the independent gentleman you are raising; and he can cook. Well done Family Freedom.
Thank you so much 🙏
Please make a full video of Katie long hair ponytail and single braiding by Jojo. And also her current hair length regrowth measurement update since her haircut by him
hi, I think you can twist the ends of the dough to prevent the fillings from going out
Can't taste it myself but the fact that Bob made his own pastry, I've got to give it too him this time! 👏 Well done official pastry chef Bob 😂
Thank you 😋
great ideas. can’t wait to try these dishes
For the pastry.... You could've use water to seal the edges, before fork pressing it, and poke hole in the top of the pastry to prevent the the leakage of the filling
Thank you! We'll remember that for next time 👌😊
I have to say bob and katie you have brought jojo up to be a very polite and well mannered young man and what's better is he can cook I have a partner who is 40 and has never cooked a meal for me in the 16 years we have been together
Hey, Toni, thanks for your kind comment about JoJo. We think it is important to teach him life skills like cooking, and so far he's doing great!
I love these videos i made a new account but been a fan since 2018 when you went to Alton towers and when Jojo use to be only 7 and When Katie has Unicorn hair this channel inspires me so much been a fan for so long I use to watch when I was young I grown up but still enjoys the vlogs especially at Halloween and Christmas I can’t wait to watch

Jo Jo, the green beans maybe mush and put inside the sausages that sounds nice
My name is julie im from Ballymena in Northern Ireland
I suffer from ibs and anxiety and depression
Your vlogs really cheer me up
They are amazing
Love your family xx
That little potato whoops may have made good potato pancakes. Great job as usual to all!
Hey Bob. For the most amazing pastry, 6tbsp cold water, 6tbsp of butter or alternative (make sure it doesn’t have a high water content) 1 1/2 cups of plain flour, 2tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt.

very nice of Katie I think her friend loves it and Katie is so creative she can make nice food in what ever she has...
Put a bit of butter in the potato mash instead of water. To runny, put it in a frying pan to thicken it.
A vitamin is one of my dream small appliances. I got my kitchen aid so now that's the next one I'm wishing for
We hope you manage to get one, they are awesome 😀
You all did a fantastic job
Thanks Dawn! 😃
Love this video as I was wondering what food u made from your shopping ps use milk to Seal your pastry Cornish, pastas or water.And then press them together❤🎉❤
Thanks Tracy! 😊
With your pasties Bob pierce a little hole in the top to let the steam escape to stop them bursting ❤ xxx
Hey Bob if u poke or put 2 slits in the top of the pasty to let steam out it should not burst in oven
Thanks for the tip Susan! 😊
The food looks really good. You can buy those portable handles for your saucepan. I can see Jojo become vegan chef some day
Good idea about the portable handle!
Great video guys. Katie, idk why but their flapjacks are pancakes.
Omg ur channel makes me so happy
Ah yes, the yorkshire pudding recipe. They do look good. They rose really high, not like my little fritters. I'm impressed.
That recipe has always worked for us so we thoroughly recommend it! 😃
Please tell us where you got the labels from?
Another amazing food challenge thanks for sharing your all winnings in my book 📚🧑🏼🍳👨🏼🍳👩🏽🍳
Yay! Thank you! 🙏
@@FamilyFreedom you are very welcome 🤗👍🏽
Wow, JoJo did a great job!
Gotta love the family freedom there aways the best
Jojo with the mash you could have added couple more potatoes to thicken it but next time don't add water till after the potatoes have been blitzed and add only a table spoon water at a time as needed
I would have to say katie did the best,only because i love peanut butter
I can not buy it I eat the hole jar...
Bob wins ! Skills and effort !
But everyone made delicious food
Thanks Lauren!
Hiya my friends I hope that you are doing well thanks for sharing another awesome video I did an Asda essential shop😊
Thanks for watching Julie! 🙏
Bob you need to use water along the edge of the pastry to seal well done all of you a pastry chef is someone who makes cakes,pastry items ,desserts
That was great guys well done to jojo, but you are all winner 🏆
So how long and what temp for the yorkshire pudding
We put them on a high temperature (as high as the oven goes) for 16 minutes 😀
These cooking vids are my fav.. ❤
Glad you like them Anita! 😊
Pastry, use milk or water to seal the edges before you use the fork 😊
Thank you for the tip 🤗
@@FamilyFreedom you're welcome
Think Bob got this one x❤🇮🇪
Can I ask what temp the Yorkies go in the oven please?
We do them on the highest oven heat 🔥
I've accidentally made mash too runny before and just put it back on heat it thickens it back up
All the foods looked great ,love a roast ,mushroom sausages Jo Jo own cooking show for young people be great 😊
send me some of that food.... ALL looked so good... love Joyce from The Netherlands
Hi Joyce, we hope you're doing well 💚
For savoury pastry you need half Lard half butter. There are many, many types of pastries. My Father was a pastry chef. Although I never was taught by him, I think it’s in the genes! 😀👍👍👍
Just ordered the flosser thank you
You're welcome Georgina! We hope that you enjoy it, we love ours! 😃
JoJo is a great cook!
Katie there are recipes for peach peanut butter Granola bars lol
Bob use milk to seal the pastry also if you had added some of the mushrooms they would have made the gravy a little thicker by absorbing it
Good tips, thanks Georgina! 😊
A pastry chef is a person that bakes desserts and bake good.
Looking forward to watching this video and seeing what you all make:)) Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend and you’re all doing well, how’s Sam? We’ve not seen him for a while. Hope the move is going well for Jamie, also hope JoJo is all good too. Xxx
Hi all love the channel can you tell me what JoJo used to cook his mash potatoes pls all absolutely delicious great ideas
Pastry- pleasa weigh rather than cups. It is just half fat to flour and as little water as possible. Freeze the soread it wont harden enough inthe fridge. Now you have sussed out pastry you can make all sorts of things (maybe look up the rubbing in method)😊
Flap jacks r round they r probably what u call pancakes round and flat those u made look good and they look like granola bars
