Thank you!
I really like these, as a British person obsessed with Americana, food and American politics, it gives you a little glimpse into the more human side of these leaders. I'm definitely going to ask for more helpings of these lol! Also perhaps do some about continental leaders, or Australian etc.

Thank you!
This man gives me "your favorite band teacher in highschool" vibes
Not all chefs are abusive screaming maniacs.
@@dmack1827 you’re a snowflake
my band teacher brushes his teeth in his office and kicks his shoes off when he's talking
@@wthwasthat8884 nah you just don’t know my tone
My band teacher was the coolest, most genuine person I'd ever met and I completely agree
I really do appreciate it when chefs explain *why* the specific steps are important and what they do. It helps me remember and really deliver the best replication of a recipe!
I like Alton Brown’s “Good Eats” shows for the same reason. And he’s funny
Right!
BAKING is so different from other cooking.....measuring matters, ingredients matter, etc....BAKING is PRECISE! great stuff!
Someone give this man a show please!!!! He’s perfect for tv, good storyteller and super charismatic!
yes, i enjoyed every minute of this
Yes!
You’re watching his show numb-nuts
YES YES....beautifully done!
This man?, how dare you refer to the CRUST MASTER as this man. No, the CRUST MASTER need a show titled "PIE BY THE CRUST MASTER"
I’ve been feeling kind of depressed all day, but suddenly I watch this video of a nice guy making a grandmotherly-looking apple pie, and now I feel like my mood has lifted
Same! I feel apple pie like roast chicken, never lets you down. Pure comfort food!
same
It's nice how so many of us share the same experience
i dont cear about the presdant i just love this guy
You'd feel even better going and getting yourself an apple pie lol.
Does he have a cooking show somewhere? so eloquent and charming.
Yes!!
@@ruthmccarthy8281 no he doesn’t. Oh you meant you were excited?
You would think PBS would snap him up!
get a room
Agreed- he reminds me of the frugal gourmet guy
I like pie better than cake. When we were planning our wedding (almost 15 years ago) we decided to have a cake but also assorted mini pies. It was an Autumn wedding so we had apple, pumpkin, chocolate cream and fruits of the forest pies. Everyone loved them. And I make a pie probably twice a month, and I have a slice for breakfast almost every day. You never know what the day will bring so I like to start my day with a dessert and a black coffee. Lol!
I'm a pie person, too. I read recently that Russians serve pie instead of cake on birthdays. They spell out the persons name on the crust by carving it into the crust or using extra dough to form the letters. As far as I know, I have zero Russian blood, but nonetheless that's a tradition I'd happily adopt!
That sounds like such a wonderful way to start a day!!! I'll give it a try!
What a lovely idea!
Hello 👋❣️♥️💞💖
@@SarahRenz59 Hello ❣️💖❤️💋❤️❤️❤️❣️♥️💞
Being accused of being too delicious by a health nut president....I can't think of a better compliment! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques, I hope I can make it even 1/2 as delicious as you did
Facts that is a major compliment
Health nut? Obama was or maybe still is a closet smoker.
@@morganvon5664 He was but stopped after his first daughter was born
Health nut? Bush was an alcoholic at one time and Barry is a chain smoker.
Michelle is the health nut. Barack knows what's best for him...listen to the First Lady.😜
I’ve been baking pies for many, many years and have never seen this method of baking an apple pie. I am looking forward to making it. Thanks for the lesson!
After a year, how was your pies now? Thanks in advance!

When Trump entered office, he lost his job to McDonald's apple pies.
Those are good though.
Like your mom? Lol
Honestly though, I really want to see a video from Trump’s chef because of the man’s bizarre diet
@@bennyni9361 I bet the cooks had to sign an NDA.
Mmmmm maybe to McFlurries...trump doesn’t eat fruit
“You’re gonna make me as fat as Taft!”
I appreciate a good historical joke.
That was perhaps the greatest quote you can take from Obama out of context and still have it be as funny
Trump would so not get that joke.
Same 😂 I almost choked on my food hearing that
@@Flynn94 he already is as fat as Taft
If I was president I would eat the flesh of my enemies in front of their children...then I would eat the children
Made this recipe for thanksgiving. Massive hit. Not a bite left. Thanks Bill!
Oh you can tell that crust is going to be divine, butter and flour, folded and chilled.
I would like the crust but not sure about the filling. Granny Smiths are the only apple I like in pies, a little nutmeg brings out the flavour, and I like my apples done in the oven, I add about a teaspoon of minute tapioca to absorb the extra juices and then the crust is not very mushy at all. Oh and I also mix a bit of cinnamon into the sugar on top of the crust. I'm kind of picky!
I had the rare pleasure of working with Bill. He was brilliant, creative, an excellent teacher, and most of all, kind. I'm so grateful for that time, for all he taught me, and for everything I learned just by watching him.
And I'm extra grateful for the memory of watching him hide, in his kitchen whites, behind a potted plant in the FOH.

Why do I just want this lovely man to talk to me about pies any time I feel stressed? I mean, I’m a cake person, but this is beautiful.
he does have a soothing voice talking about pies and antidotes:)
Thank you! I baked my first apple with your recipe. I learnt all the things I was doing wrong before this. My pie came out beautifully delicious. I will be using this recipe every time from now onward.
You can tell he is really proud of his work and his position. That’s great 😊
Great indeed. That's an awesome chef. I loved the "so you're the ones" line. Very unexpected, very funny.
Yup. He's passionate about his craft and the finished product is proof of that. That pie looks so scrumptious.
The crust master omg. I love this loll
I would love to see more videos presented by this lovely gentleman. A cookbook of President’s Pies would be amazing.
Obama was the coolest president we've ever had. Home for dinner with his family every night at 6:30pm. And still accomplished more than any other POTUS. Respect.
Really? what did he accomplish?
I did this recipe... was fucking delicious. My family didn't even let the pie cold, we eat it almost right out of the oven. Was amazing
Can you write the recipe please? I mean amount of flour, butter an etc
@@kurisumakise8161 Experiment! the methods are far more important than the ingredient amount for pie. Just not a lot of salt and more butter than you think you need.
@@kurisumakise8161 It's the first comment under the video.

I'll never forget when Michelle Obama gave an interview early on and talked about all the different homemade pies available at the White House. I have never been able to get that picture out of my head after all these years. I'd give anything to taste the pies at the White House. My little dream.
I’m sure you can go to a distinguished apple pie bakery and get a slice it’s nice to spoil yourself once in a while.
The recipe is right in the pinned comment. It does not look terribly hard and I just might give it a whirl myself. We can eat pie like a President!
I remember when she said it was the first time she was proud of America when Obama got elected.
ESPECIALLY SINCE W ARE PAYING FOR IT ALL
@@lynnjackson8367 You mad about something?
BEAUTIFUL WORK!!
HERE IN GREECE & FRANCE WE BRUSH THE BOOTOM OF PIE BOTTON CRUSTWITH EGGWHITE (UNBEATEN) ON PIE LAYER BEFORE COOKING SO NO FLUIDS DRAIN WHEN ASSEMBELD MATTER OF INTERST IN PIE IS ADDED.THANK YOU FOR SHAREING.
I like hearing form people who worked in the White house when the Obamas were there. They always have nice things to say about the experience and they always compliment the Obamas.
We have this show in the Netherlands "Taarten met Abel" (Pies with Abel). Where a pie baker (Abel) makes pies with children for special occasions while he interviews them. This man would be perfect for a show like that in the USA.
Gast boeien
Surinaams voedsel van daar in Nederland is zo droog net als mark rutte zijn verontschuldigingen.
Well, Dutch television just made a remarkable jump up the leader-board. Incidentally, congratulations on the Gold Medal in the women's hockey, Argentina are a tough team to beat.
Thank you for keeping our president going back then. He undoubtedly had a very stressful 8 years and i'm sure your food comforted him.
Thank you Bill... absolute Gold and I enviously respect your service to this great man and the office.
OMG. This was pleasure to watch and listen to...sort of like a bedtime story being read to me. Goodnight all🙏⚘
Its so nice to see photos of President Obama and Mrs. Obama with the love they showed each other. You can tell it was genuine!
You mean Michael *
I made an apple pie with Elstar, a popular German apple, and it naturally developed a rose water aroma, which was fascinating, the smell was amazing. If you ever use Elstar make sure you like rose water in your baking.
Interesting!
Just an observation, what has happened to the baking apples? I don't see any Red Rome at the stores. In fact, almost all the apple types are for out of hand eating.
A man who knows how to make a proper pie. Nothing beats a pre-baked bottom crust with a pre-cooked filling finished to together with a top crust.
i actually learned a lot from this, pie doughs are so polarizing, you get different answers from different people and when you ask "why do you do it like that?" they never have a good answer they just say "just do this", this video explained, thank you
Exactly! I took away so much from this video and it's great to learn why he did what he did, I can now incorporate those tricks (such as the cornstarch one) into other recipes.
Says a lot that even as busy as he was he always made a point to have dinner with his wife and kids :)
Yes he's very sophisticated
@@scarletredmagic6724 i dont know if thats sophistication so much a being a decent human being.

Indeed! the president of the world's most powerful nation prioritised his family - not the american people! Any wonder the nation is DOWN in the dumps now!
@@Likit257 Your comment reveals to us all what is wrong with you....and millions of others. You really think family is of secondary importance? Who raised you?
And I think Obama was one of America's most dishonest, non-transparent, evil presidents.
I like this man because you can tell he loves his baking
My grandmother from a Midwest pioneer family, taught me how to make apple pie. I've never heard about cooking the applies beforehand. And using a plate to mold the crust. I learned a lot in this video. It's all Genius! - must try
This guy is wonderful, not only is he a great pastry chef but a delightful storyteller. Bill's personality is so calming and full of positivity.
I just love the way he speaks about both presidents so respectfull and everything, Can't wait to make American applepie! Love it. I really should Cook and bake a little bit more... 🙈

Red Delicious are dead to me.

No kidding. Red Delicious is the scourge of nobler apples.
What a nice guy! You can tell he has a passion for baking and how much pride he takes in baking for the US presidents.
Always epic to see somebody doing something that they truly love.
What more is there?
A man with words and a smile as warm as the pies he makes.
'Oh, it's you! Stop making those pies! ....' Kind of a back-handed compliment. Of course it means he can't resist those delicious pies!
Exactly. STOP! You're killing me!
That's not what a backhanded compliment is.
I can usually take or leave pie, but my goodness - if a pie that looked like that was put in front of me every night, it would be over for me. The picture alone has me drooling.
That pie looks delicious. 44 has great taste. Thanks for this.
The chef looks so friendly and sophisticated.
Can we have more videos with him? He's so charming and actually makes me want to make the recipes
Same.
@@tigerlilly9038 same
@@claudettethomas5921 Golden delicious is the best apple!
Fo real!
That pie recipe is so basic and straightforward that it must be absolutely quintessential. My main takeaways are the precise dough-handling, no Red Delicious apples, and using the egg wash. Oh, and prebaking the bottom with the foil retaining its shape. Great tutorial. Thanks.
Wow the foil probably works better than pie stones!
and baking it on the middle shelf of your walk-in oven. :-)
Nice color on top, courtesy of the sugar.
I loved this video and the pie-making demonstration. I have made a lot of pies in my time, considered pretty good at it, but I learned new things from this demonstration. That apple pie looked fabulous!
I was surprised that apple pie is President Obama's favorite pie as I remember reading years ago that his favorite was cherry pie, and even saved a newspaper photo of him in a cafeteria choosing a piece of cherry pie. That is our family's favorite and, as we also loved the Obamas, we were vicariously happy that they also preferred cherry pie. Oh well....we love apple pie, too! Thank you, Mr. Yosses, for this wonderful video and anecdotes.
Your way of making the apple pie has solved all my mysteries.
First, bake the dough. You put apples in a pan and thickened the juice with cornstarch. Then, you baked the pie well.
The secret of deliciousness is to take time and effort!
Thank you very much for your video!
This man needs his own baking show. Interjection nice stories while he's teaching without losing the flow.
This was very sweet. No pun intended.
I bet you intended it. 😂
that was very pun. no fun intended
You mean both?
I agree! no pun intended!
His approach to teaching is so reassuring, somehow makes me feel like it's a breeze while also delivering lots of specifics about key steps.
He's the type of chef that gives off the feeling that it's okay to make mistakes and make food your way
He's kinda like Bob Ross but for cooking
@@KittazziCrafter We call them "happy accidents". 😉
This man is a master of his craft. A crust master, if you will.
His voice and mannerisms is just like Bob Ross both have soothing voices
oh yes! i was just trying to figure out who he reminded me of. bob ross it is
Will have to try this. I could listen to him talk all day. I hope he has his own show sometime - not necessarily presidential favorites but anything baking.
I can tell you have fond memories... you have a kind smile and it seems you had fun and enjoyed your time of service to the Obamas! Thank you for your service! 🙂
This chef is a great teacher. He has a wonderful way of explaining and also entertaining.
Wow I've never baked my apples before putting them in a pie, and he's right my pies are so soggy on the bottom. I'm going to try this. He's a cool guy
Anna Banana...no wait...he baked the crust and cooked the apples on the stove...then he put them together and baked some more .... I need to get get some apple pie now.
Yes and yes
I've seen people use a metal tray on a pre-heated pizza stone as well. No pre-baking needed.
You do need to cook the apples enough beforehand to drive off a lot of that water.
I've been making pies for years and never knew to refrigerate overnight. Thank you!
thank you, Chef, for your heartfelt, well-spoken and insightful video! a peek at a great president.. and the full monty on what looks like a great pie!
How truly wonderful to bake for those that appreciate and enjoy your passion, skill and love.
I like the added touch of all the pictures of Obama looking at pies 😂 his facial expressions are priceless. But, he gets it because my mouth was watering when he cut into that pie 🤤
Fabulous! Never seen such a mouth watering recipe for apple pie, and I love that it’s President Obama’s favorite. Thank you for sharing it 💜
That pie at the end looks incredible. Never really wanted to make a pie before. Might make one now.

So great to watch ! I so enjoyed it
This charming man needs to have his own baking show!
He seem like such a delight to be around, I could listen to him all day, the way he makes his apple pie I would really like to taste it and apple pie is never my first choice, I’m more of a peach cobbler chick.
I dream about peach cobbler. Really.
how are you
Mr. Yosses' crust looks a lot like the traditional French Canadian crust, used for blueberry and apple pies, for "tarte-à-sucre" and for the ultra-traditional Tourtière. That kind of crust is called "brisé" ["broken"]. This is lumberjack food, meant for outdoor workers in a cold climate. The favoured apple is the Mackintosh, which cooks just about perfectly and has some tartness. If Yosses is a New Englander or from the Great Lakes region, he would have probably been familiar with this approach.
I loved this video. You can tell he loves his profession. Oh man when he cut into the pie it looked so out-a-this world good!
Did you notice there is instructions but no ratio of the flour, butter and water, etc.
What a nice man☺️ more than a great pastry chef, a terrific story teller. That apple pie looked scrumptious ! Thanks 😊
It's like watching Walter White talk about chemistry.
Thank you for sharing your stories and pie making expertise. So precious!
Thank you for sharing this! I've enjoyed listening to you tell your experience AND showing us how to make a great pie crust!
Well he explained how to make it, rather than just show it which is great. The British royal chef didn't explain his recipes in details like this guy.
If I had Diabetes and was told eating this will kill me, I’d say, “I’ll take the whole pie please”. At least I’ll be dying happy and full!!

Every fall I go to my farm orchard and pick my apples for my pies. Chef, your special tricks are terrific and I’ll look forward to using them.
Hello , how are you doing today?
Usually when you cut a pie...or at least when I do...the filling falls to the sides when you pick it up. That was the perfect slice and it was still warm. 😍
Very similar to how I make mine, down to pre cooking the crust, pre cooking the apples, and adding corn starch to thicken it up. I’ve got a few more tricks and ingredients up my sleeve though that I think would reign supreme over his pie any day of the week!😉
Would you mind sharing your apple pie recipe

@@SarahRenz59 Red delicious apples are fine, it's just that they are grown in the pacific northwest most of the time, and they don't develop their flavor in a cooler climate.
