Flask exercise - not sure what is wrong here

Template inheritance

flask_app.py 
from flask import Flask
from flask import render_template

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')
templates/index.html 
{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block title %}Homepage{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Smells Like Bakin'!</h1>
<p>Welcome to my bakery web site!</p>
{% endblock %}
templates/layout.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>

Try keeping <title> and </title> in layout.html instead of deleting them, such as <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>. Without the <title> and </title>, the contents of the block won't be in a title element and will show up as content on the page rather than as a page title.
