Peanut Butter And Jelly Bread

Total Time: 4 hrs Preparation Time: 4 hrs

Ingredients

• 3 cups bread flour
• 4 teaspoons vital wheat gluten
• 1/2 cup water (~110 degrees f)
• 2 3/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon jelly, plus more
• jelly, for rolling in
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 1 teaspoon honey

Recipe

• 1 heat milk and butter in small saucepan until butter melts.
• 2 cool until warm (about 110 degrees f).
• 3 mix flour, salt, and vital wheat gluten in a medium bowl and set aside.
• 4 mix yeast, water, and honey together and let proof.
• 5 add egg and mix well.
• 6 then, stir in warmed milk mixture.
• 7 add 2 cups of the flour mixture to wet ingredients.
• 8 mix well, then add pb and jelly.
• 9 knead in remaining flour, a little at a time until it reaches the right consistency. (you probably won't use all of the leftover flour).
• 10 lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough ball in the center.
• 11 cover, and set aside to rise until tripled in bulk (about 2 hours or so i think?).
• 12 once risen, turn out onto a flat, lightly floured surface, and gently pat into a rectangle shape about 1.5 inches thick and as wide as the loaf pan.
• 13 spread a layer of jelly over the surface of the dough, and roll it up like a standard loaf bread, tucking the ends under.
• 14 place in a greased loaf pan, and cover, allowing to rise until doubled in bulk, the surface should be rounded above the rim of the pan.
• 15 once risen for the second time, adjust your oven racks to the lowest and middle levels.
• 16 place a roasting pan on the bottom rack.
• 17 boil 2 cups of water and pour the water into the pan on the bottom rack, quickly placing the loaf pan on the middle rack.
• 18 bake at 350 degrees f for about 40-50 minutes (until an instant read thermometer reads about 195 degrees.).
• 19 remove the bread from the pan and allow to cool to room temperature on some parchment paper on a wire rack. (so the jelly doesn't slime up your bakers rack).
• 20 slice and enjoy! :d.
