How to Make a Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich

In this Instructable we will learn how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (PB&J).

BEFORE BEGINNING:

If you have food allergies do not participate (check ingredients before beginning).

You may get messy, make sure you roll up your sleeves, and wash your hands.

Keep small children away from the knife if it is sharp.

To begin: make sure you have a plate, a knife, a loaf of bread (your preference on what kind, I am using Honey wheat in this instructable), a jar of peanut butter, and a jar or tube of jelly.

First remove the bread bag twisty tie, and take 2 pieces of bread out of the bag.

Place the bread slices horizontally on the plate with the white of the bread facing up.

Next, Screw the top off of the peanut butter jar, and open the jelly container.

Take your knife, and scoop about a tablespoon (or preferable amount) of peanut butter on the knife.

Spread the peanut butter evenly on one slice of bread (on the side that is facing up).

Once all the peanut butter is off of the knife, take the jelly, and squeeze a tablespoon (or preferable amount) onto the second slice of bread.

Spread the jelly with the knife evenly onto the second piece of bread (on the side that faces up).

Tie the bread bag up with the twisty tie, screw the lid onto the peanut butter jar, and close the jelly container.

Place the pieces of bread together sot that the jelly and the peanut butter are touching, and the clean sides of the bread are on the outside. When you look at your sandwich you should see from top to bottom: (bread, peanut butter, jelly, bread, plate).

Now, you cut the sandwich into triangles by making a diagonal cut from the top right corner, across the middle, straight across to the bottom left corner. You should finish with 2 equal sized triangles.

If you do not like crust on sandwiches, you may choose to cut the crust off with your knife so that the entire perimeter is gone, and you only have the white of the bread left. (Make sure you are only cutting off the brown edge, nothing else.) You do not have to do this step if you don't want to.

Enjoy your sandwich!
