- Category: Snack
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- White sandwich bread (soft and fresh, preferably without preservatives)
- Peanut butter (creamy or chunky, natural preferred)
- Grape jelly or jam (or strawberry, raspberry, or other favorite jams)
- Flour (for dusting to prevent sticking)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by laying out all ingredients and tools. Lightly dust your work surface with flour to prevent bread from sticking.
- Using a round cookie cutter (about 3 inches diameter), cut circles out of each slice of bread. Save crusts for other uses.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of peanut butter evenly on one bread circle.
- Spread 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of jelly on another bread circle.
- Place the jelly-topped bread circle on top of the peanut butter one, jelly side down. Press gently to stick them together.
- Using a rolling pin or heavy pan, press firmly around the edges to seal the sandwich without flattening the bread completely.
- Place each sandwich on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch. Freeze for about 1 hour until firm.
- Transfer the frozen sandwiches into plastic freezer bags or airtight containers. Label with the date and store for up to 3 months.
Notes
Use fresh, soft bread for best results. Lightly mist bread with water if dry before pressing. Freeze sandwiches individually on a tray before bagging to prevent sticking. Avoid microwaving directly from frozen to keep bread soft. Customize fillings as desired.
