Title tag edit without plugin/Search engine display

    I’m using Twenty Fourteen, and I’ve designated a page as my home page.

    Yahoo and Bing are picking up the site but returning the site like this in the search results:

    Home [fourpanelpress.com]

    After I saw that, I went back and typed in the site title under Settings > Reading as Four Panel Press, but search engine search results still display Home [url]

    I’ve already used XML sitemap, so don’t want to use Youst SEO, which requires I delete the sitemap and start again, to set the display for search engines. Can anyone help me to change the settings in the header.php so the search engines start picking up just the name Four Panel Press to display in the results? My understanding is I need to change the title tags, but I’m not understanding exactly how to do that with the code for Twenty Fourteen based on what I’ve read in other forum posts.

    Here are the places where the title is mentioned:

    <head>
	<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
	<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
	<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
	<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>">
	<!--[if lt IE 9]>
	<script src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/js/html5.js"></script>
	<![endif]-->
	<?php wp_head(); ?>

    and

    <div class="header-main">
			<h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1>
