Homemade Uncrustable Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches

The result is a crust‑less, perfectly round sandwich that can be made ahead and frozen for quick lunches.

Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Make the water‑roux; it determines the softness of the bread
- • Knead the dough until smooth; under‑mixing yields a dense crumb
- • Bake to an internal temperature of 190°F; under‑baking leaves a gummy interior
- • Strain the apple‑juice mixture to achieve a clear jelly
- • Use the wrinkle test to confirm jelly set
- • Crimp the sandwich edges firmly to seal without crust
Safety Warnings
- • Handle hot roux and boiling jelly with care to avoid burns
- • Use oven mitts when removing hot bread from the oven
- • When using a food processor or blender, keep the lid securely locked
