Please check answer. I'm not sure how it's wrong

How is this wrong?

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

Hello Thomas. First your Title Block needs to be inside you title tags. Second make sure you don't have extra spaces but do have a space between block content and the %

{% block content %}{% endblock %}
